Answer:

w= -\frac{7}{2} z

Step-by-step explanation:

 5w + 9z = 2z +3w

       <u>- 9z = -9z</u>

5w = -7z + 3w

<u>-3w          - 3w</u>

2w = -7z

<u>/2      /2</u>

w = -\frac{7}{2} z

When solving for a variable, you get the variable you're trying to solve for on one side and everything to the opposite of that variable.

We have the equation <span>5w + 9z = 2z + 3w.

Usually the variable we're solving for we want on the left. But it's fine to have it on the right side, too.

Let's subtract 9z from the left-hand side. That way, the 5w will be alone on the left-hand side.

And remember, anything we do on one side we do to the other side.

</span><span>5w + 9z - 9z = 2z + 3w - 9z
</span><span>5w = -7z + 3w

The 3w term on the right-hand side needs to be removed. So, subtract each side by 3w.

5w - 3w = -7z + 3w - 3w
2w = -7z

Now, we need to divide each side by 2 to see what the w variable is equal to.

2w / 2 = -7z / 2
w = -7z / 2 or w = -3.5z

So, w is equal to -3.5z.

Answer:  d =  -16 .
_______________________________________________________
Explanation:
____________________________________________________

Given:  0.2 (d − 6) = 0.3d + 5 − 3 + 0.1 d  ; Solve for "d" ;
_________________________________________
→ Note the distributive property of multiplication:
____________________________________________
            a (b + c) = ab + ac ;
            a (b − c) = ab − ac ;
________________________________________
As such, we can expand the left-hand side of the question:
______________________________________________
→ 0.2 (d − 6) = (0.2 *d) − (0.2 *6)  = 0.2 d − 1.2; 
________________________________________
And rewrite the entire equation: 
________________________________________
→ 0.2 d − 1.2 = 0.3d + 5 − 3 + 0.1 d ;
__________________________________________
→ Let us multiply the ENTIRE equation (both sides) by "10"; to get rid of the decimals:
_________________________________________
   → 10 * {0.2 d − 1.2 = 0.3d + 5 − 3 + 0.1 d} ;
___________________________________________
   →  2d − 12 = 3d + 50 − 30 + 1d ;  
   
→ Combine the "like terms",  +3d , +1d  ; to get 4d; on the 'right-hand side' of the equation ; and rewrite:

 →  2d − 12 = 4d + 50 − 30 ;  

 →  Now add "12"; and subtract "2d" from EACH SIDE of the equation; 

 →  2d − 12 + 12 − 2d= 4d + 50 − 30 + 12 − 2d ;

→  0 = 2d + 32 ;  ↔  2d + 32 = 0 ; 

                           → Subtract "32" from each side of the equation:
_________________________________________________________
          → 2d + 32 − 32 = 0 − 32 ;
    
          → 2d  = - 32
__________________________________
→ Now, divide EACH side of the equation by "2" ; to isolate "d" on ONE side of the equation; and to solve for "d" ;
____________________________________________________
         →   2d / 2  =  - 32 / 2 ; 
_________________________________________
         →         d  =  - 16  ;  which is our answer.
_______________________________________________________ 
     Let us check our answer by plugging this value for "d" in the original equation to see if the equation holds true when "d = -16" ; 
___________________________________________________
               →  0.2 (d − 6) = 0.3d + 5 − 3 + 0.1 d ;
_______________________________________________
    →  Let us start with the "left-hand side".
_______________________________________
         → 0.2 (d − 6) ;  ↔ 0.2*(-16 − 6) ; ↔ 0.2*(-22) = -4.4.
_____________________________________________
When "d" = -16 in the right-hand side of the equation,
                                                          is the result, "-4.4" ???
_______________________________________________
   →  0.3d + 5 − 3 + 0.1 d = ? -4.4 ???
________________________________________
    →  (0.3 * -16)  + 5 − 3 + (0.1 * -16) =? -4.4???
_____________________________________________
    →  (-4.8) + 5 − 3 + (-1.6)  = ? -4.4????
___________________________________________
   →  (-4.8) + 5 − 3  − (1.6)  = ? -4.4????

→ -4.4 =? -4.4??? Yes!!!
