What is 5w + 8 - 12w = 16 - 15w

1 answer:

3 0

I suppose you are asking what "w" is:
your equation is
5w+8-12w=16-15w
combine like terms to get
-7w+8=16-15w
add 15w on both sides(since you're doing it to both sides the equation is still equal)
8w+8=16
subtract 8 from both sides
8w=8
divide both sides by 8 and you get:
w=1
if you want to check your answer, plug in the value of "w" into the original equation.
Ask me if you have any questions about this answer

when ashley buys 7 postage stamp booklets she gets 140 stamps.she get 60 stamps in three booklets. write an equation to find the

Andreyy89

We can put this information into two equations:

7 booklets = 140 stamps
3 booklets = 60 stamps

Let us then focus on one equation to find the relationship:

7 booklets = 140 stamps

If we put that into a fraction, we get $\frac{7}{140}$ or $\frac{1}{20}$ .

This means that for every booklet, Ashley gets 20 stamps; or rather, each booklet has 20 stamps.

We can then see that this relationship holds true for the second equation as well:

$\frac{3}{60}$ or $\frac{1}{20}$ .

To write a general equation for this relationship using p for the number of postage stamps, and b for the number of booklets:

p = 20b

Where b is equal to p.
