Answer:

w=2

Step-by-step explanation:

3 + 4(w + 5) = 31

distribute 4(w + 5)

4 x w = 4w

4 x 5 = 20

rewrite your equation

3 + 4w + 20 = 31

add like terms

3 + 20 = 23

rewrite equation

4w + 23 = 31

subract 23 on both sides

4w + 23 = 31

-23 -23

4w = 8

divide by 4 on both sides to get w by itself

4w = 8

4 4

w = 2

Answer:

We have,

3+4(w+5)

=31 Or, 3+20+4w

=31 or, 4w

=31−23

w=8/4

Thus, w comes out to be 2 .

Your friend says that the absolute value equation |3x+8|−9=−5 has no solution because the constant on the right side of the equa

$Solution, solve\:for\:x,\:\left|3x+8\right|-9=-5\quad :\quad x=-4\quad \mathrm{or}\quad \:x=-\frac{4}{3}$

$Steps:$

$\left|3x+8\right|-9=-5$

$\mathrm{Add\:}9\mathrm{\:to\:both\:sides},\\\left|3x+8\right|-9+9=-5+9$

$\mathrm{Simplify},\\\left|3x+8\right|=4$

$|f\left(x\right)|=a\quad \Rightarrow \:f\left(x\right)=-a\quad \mathrm{or}\quad \:f\left(x\right)=a,\\3x+8=-4\quad \quad \mathrm{or}\quad \:\quad \:3x+8=4$

$3x+8=-4,\\\mathrm{Subtract\:}8\mathrm{\:from\:both\:sides},\\3x+8-8=-4-8,\\\mathrm{Simplify},\\3x=-12,\\\mathrm{Divide\:both\:sides\:by\:}3,\\\frac{3x}{3}=\frac{-12}{3},\\\mathrm{Simplify},\\x=-4$

$3x+8=4,\\\mathrm{Subtract\:}8\mathrm{\:from\:both\:sides},\\3x+8-8=4-8,\\\mathrm{Simplify},\\3x=-4,\\\mathrm{Divide\:both\:sides\:by\:}3,\\\frac{3x}{3}=\frac{-4}{3},\\\mathrm{Simplify},\\x=-\frac{4}{3}$
