Question
When determining the symbolic length of x in a structure from the equation PL/EA, I am not sure how the 2nd line in the equation algabraically turns into what is in the 3rd line (3/2)x=L/2 (a screenshot is provided).
I haven't had engineering classes for 7 years, so I am a little fuzzy on some of the basics, and am just looking to see how the algebra actually gives x.
Would you be able to explain how the equation breaks down without the abbreviated answer that is given?
