Question

-5 = 1/3(-1-w) pls help! i will give brainly

Answer 1

Solve for w
divide each side by factors that don’t contain the variable
w = 14

Answer 2

Answer:

w=14

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's solve your equation step-by-step.

−5= 1/ 3 (−1−w)

Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.

−5= 1/ 3 (−1−w) −5=( 1/ 3 )(−1)+( 1/ 3 )(−w) (Distribute)

−5= −1/ 3 + −1/ 3 w

−5= −1/ 3 w+ −1/ 3

Step 2: Flip the equation.

−1/ 3 w+ −1/ 3 =−5

Step 3: Add 1/3 to both sides.

−1/ 3 w+ −1/ 3 +1/  3 =−5+ 1/ 3

−1/ 3 w= −14/ 3

Step 4: Multiply both sides by 3/(-1).

( 3 −1 )*( −1/ 3 w)=( 3/ −1 )*( −14/ 3 )

w=14

Answer:

w=14
