Question

8w-6(w-4)=2(w+9) please help asap

Answer 1

Answer:

w = -7.04 and 1.705

Step-by-step explanation:

First lets distribute.

We have 8w-6w(w-4), so let's distribute the -6w to w and -4

8w-6w^2+24w = 2(w+9)

Now for the other side we distribute 2 to w and 9

8w-6w^2+24w = 2w +18

Now we combine like terms

6w^2+32w = 2w +18

Carry both 2w and 18 to the other side

6w^2 +30w -18 = 0

Now we can factor the equation, i used the quadratic method which is x= -b+- the square root of b^2-4ac /2a (in this case x would be w)

Plugging that in:

x= -32 +- square root of 32^2 -4(6 * -18) / 2(6)

-32 +- square root of 1024 +1728 / 12

-32 +- square root of 2752 /12

-32 +- 52.46 /12

x = -32 - 52.46/12   and  -32 + 52.46/12

x=  -84.46/12      and      20.46/12

x= -7.04  and  1.705

so w = -7.04 and 1.705

Sorry this was so complicated, but I hope this helps
