Question

Solve for w. −(1/4w+8)+8=3 w=52 w=134 w=−34 w=−12

Answer 1

For this case we have the following equation:

$- (\frac {1} {4} w + 8) + 8 = 3$

We apply distributive property considering that:

$- * + = -$

So:

$- \frac {1} {4} w-8 + 8 = 3\\- \frac {1} {4} w = 3$

We multiply by -4 on both sides of the equation:

$w = -4 * 3\\w = -12$

Answer:

$w = -12$
