Question

3 (3w − 4) = −20 Solve for w, please

Answer 1

Hey having trouble the answer is -8/9 have a great day

Answer 2

Answer:

$\boxed {x = -\frac{8}{9}}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Solve for the value of $w$:

$3(3w - 4) = -20$

-Use Distributive Property:

$3(3w - 4) = -20$

$9w - 12= -20$

-Add both sides by $12$:

$9w - 12 + 12 = -20 + 12$

$9w = -8$

-Divide both sides by $9$:

$\frac{9w}{9} = \frac{-8}{9}$

$\boxed {x = -\frac{8}{9}}$

Therefore, the value of $w$ is $-\frac{8}{9}$.
