Solve for w in terms of A and 𝓁. A=𝓁w

Answer 1

It is important to realize that "w in terms of" simply means you will end up with "w=" after some algebraic manipulation.

It is a term frequently used, and although it can be confusing, just remember the translation shown above.

Answer 2

-------------------------------

firstly, some students find it helpful to break down the question before starting to solve:

starting with the given equation below

A = lw

"Solve for w in terms of A and 𝓁"

means we need to find/rearrange to solve for w

w = ?

------------------------------------

so,

1. A = lw (given)
2. A/l = lw/l (l and w are multiplied, so we need to divide by l on both sides to leave w alone)
3. A/l = w (from step 2 to 3, we cancel out or simplify the l's )

Answer 3

A=lw, so w = A/l
