Oh honey, solving for w in 2l + 2w = P is as easy as stealing candy from a baby. Just subtract 2l from both sides and then divide by 2. Voila, w = (P - 2l) / 2. Now go show off your math skills like the boss you are.

p=2l+2w
Oh, what a happy little problem we have here! If the perimeter of the rectangle is 24 inches, we can use the formula P = 2l + 2w to find its dimensions. Since the length is 3 inches greater than the width, we can set up the equation 24 = 2(l + 3) + 2l and solve for l and w. With a little bit of math magic, we'll find that the dimensions of this lovely rectangle are 9 inches in length and 6 inches in width.
Length = LPerimeter = P = 2L + 2WWidth = WGiven:W = ½ L + 2P = 40ftSubstitute:P = 2L + 2(½ L + 2), P = 2L + L + 4, P = 3L + 4,40 = 3L + 4, 3L = 36, L = 36/3 = 12, .................................. L = 12.40 = 2L + 2W, W = 40/2 - 24/2, W = 20-12, ...................... W = 8.
