Question

What is the answer to this math problem?

Answer 1

8-0.03w = 1.72w+2.75

8 = 1.75w+2.75

5.25=1.75w

w=5.25/1.75 =3

w = 3

Answer 2

Work: 8-.03w=1.72w+2.75
Solve for w
+.03w both sides
8=1.75w+2.75
-2.75 both sides
5.25=1.75w
÷1.75 both sides
3=w
Answer: w=3
Check your work: plug in w
8-.03(3)=1.72(3)+2.75
Multiply
8-.09=5.16+2.75
Subtract
7.91=5.16+2.75
Add
7.91=7.91

Answer is correct
