Question

#22 #24 and #26 HELP

Answer 1

#22)
4(t - 8) + 20 = 5
Distribute the 4.

4t - 32 + 20 = 5
Combine like terms.

4t - 12 = 5
Add 12 to both sides.

4t = 17
Divide both sides by 4.

t = 4.25


#24)
17 = -5(3 + w) + 7
Distribute the -5.

17 = -15 - 5w + 7
Combine like terms.

17 = -8 - 5w
Add 8 to both sides.

25 = -5w
Divide both sides by -5.

w = -5


#26)
9 = -(r - 5) + 11
Distribute the -.

9 = -r + 5 + 11
Combine like terms.

9 = -r + 16
Subtract 16 from both sides.

-7 = -r
r = 7
