Help Solve this Algebra 1 Literal Equation

A=2h(l+w)

Please show steps

Sorry to bother I have a lot of problems like these and don't know how to do them

What are you solving for, h, l, or w. ?

Hint: The variable you are solving for, must be left all alone on the left side of the equation.

Example: Solve for h

A = 2h( l + w )........................ Divide, both sides, by 2(l + w )

A / 2( l + w ) = h .................. Or

h= A / 2( l + w )................... THE END

Example 2. Solve for w

A = 2h ( l + w)...................... Distribute 2h

A = 2hl + 2hw...................... Subtract 2hl

A - 2hl = 2hw....................... Divide by 2h

( A - 2hl ) / 2h = w................. Then:

w = ( A - 2hl ) / 2h................ THE END

A
= 2h(l + w)

Solve it for what?
Do you have values for any of the variables?
Do you mean "make h (or l or w) the subject of the equation"?
