Do you by any chance have a photo of the problem?
        
             
        
        
        
There were 188,49 tickets that were sold
        
             
        
        
        
9(v+2) 
When you factor you are essentially dividing by 9 when you take it out and add parenthesis
        
                    
             
        
        
        
Answer:
w = -20 
Step-by-step explanation:
-
 + 9 = 13
Shift the (+9) to the other side of the equation. (+9) will turn into (-9). 
-
 = 13 - 9
    = 4
Shift the (÷5) to the other side of the equation. (÷5) will turn into (×5). 
-w = 4 × 5 
     = 20 
Multiply both sides of the equation by (-1) so that -w will turn into w. 
w = (-1) × 20 
w = -20
