Question

Solve. 8w - 17 = 23 W=

Answer 1

Answer:

W = 5

Step-by-step explanation:

since you want to solve for W, you want to get it by itself

to get the 8w alone, add 17 to both sides of the equation

8w - 17 + 17 = 23 + 17

8w = 40

now, to get the w by itself, divide both sides by 8

$\frac{8w}{8}=\frac{40}{8}$

$w= \frac{40}{8}=5$

Answer 2

Answer:0.75 (3/4)

Step-by-step explanation:

Subtract 17 from 23 =6 then

8w divided by 6 will be .75
