2Lw+2hw+2hz=S
Swap sides so that all variable terms are on the left hand side.
2Lw+2hz=S-2hw
Subtract 2hw from both sides.
2Lw=S-2hw-2hz
Subtract 2hz from both sides.
2wL=S-2hw-2hz
The equation is in standard form.
\frac{2wL}{2w}=\frac{S-2hw-2hz}{2w}
Divide both sides by 2w.
L=\frac{S-2hw-2hz}{2w}
Dividing by 2w undoes the multiplication by 2w.
