w=P−2l2
w is equal to cap p minus 2 l over 2

w=P−2l2
w is equal to the fraction with numerator cap p minus 2 l and denominator 2

w=P−l
w is equal to cap p minus l

l=P−2w/2

Answer 1

Start with P = 2l + 2w. Subtract 2l: P − 2l = 2w. Divide by 2: w = (P − 2l)/2.

So the correct choice is w = (P − 2l)/2.
