The perimeter of a rectangular house is given by the formula P = 2L+

2W, where L represents the length of the house and W represents the
width of the house.
Rewrite the equation to determine the width of the house when the
perimeter is 2,000 feet and the length is 600 feet.

Answer: 400 feet

Explanation:

P = 2L+ 2W... P-2L = 2W...
(P-2L)/(2)= W

W = (2000-2x600) / 2
