-7w + 2(w + 8) = -24

First, expand your equation.
$-7w + 2w + 16 = -24$
Second, add '-7w + 2w' to get '5w'.
$-5w + 16 = -24$
Third, take away '16' from both sides.
$-5w = -24 - 16$
Fourth, subtract '-24 - 16' to get '-40'.
$-5w = -40$
Fifth, divide both sides by '-5' and change it into a positive.
$w = \frac{40}{5}$
Sixth, how many times does 5 go into 40? 40 ÷ 5 = 8.
$w = 8$

Answer: w = 8

The ratio of the areas of the two squares is 25 to 9. The side length of the smaller square is 30 meters. How long is the side l

Ratling [72]

Ratios of Area of the two squares = 25:9
So then let the areas be A1 = 25A and A2 = 9A, A is common element
Side of the smaller area S2 = 30 meters
Area of the smaller square A2 = 30 x 30 = 900
We have area of smaller square as 9A = 900 => A = 100
Area of the large square = 25A = 25 x 100 = 2500.
Hence S1^2 = 2500 => S1 = 50 meters which is 20 meters longer than the
side of the smaller square.
