Question

How do you solve `V = lwh` for `w`?

Answer 1

`V/lh = w`

Explanation:

To solve `V = lwh` for `w` we need to divide each side of the equation by `color(red)(l)color(blue)(h)`

`V/(color(red)(l)color(blue)(h)) = (lwh)/(color(red)(l)color(blue)(h))`

`V/(color(red)(l)color(blue)(h)) = (color(red)(cancel(color(black)(l)))wcolor(bue)(cancel(color(black)(h))))/(cancel(color(red)(l))cancel(color(blue)(h)))`

`V/(lh) = w`

`w = V/(lh)`
