Solve the formula for the specified variable.
-$P = 2 L + 2 W \quad \text { for } L$
A) $\mathrm { L } = \frac { \mathrm { P } - \mathrm { W } } { 2 }$
B) $L = P - W$
C) $L = \frac { P - 2 W } { 2 }$
D) $L = P - 2 W$

To solve for $L$, subtract $2W$ from both sides to get $P - 2W = 2L$, then divide both sides by 2 to isolate $L$, resulting in $L = \frac{P - 2W}{2}$.
