Question

Determine the solution for the equation, 5w - 9= 44.

Answer 1

Answer:

w has multiple forms

exact w = 53/5

decimal w = 10.6

mixed number w = 10 3/5

5 x 53/5 - 9 = 44

Answer 2

Answer:

w=2

Step-by-step explanation:

Simplifying

4w + -9(6 + -5w) = 44

4w + (6 * -9 + -5w * -9) = 44

4w + (-54 + 45w) = 44

Reorder the terms:

-54 + 4w + 45w = 44

Combine like terms: 4w + 45w = 49w

-54 + 49w = 44

Solving

-54 + 49w = 44

Solving for variable 'w'.

Move all terms containing w to the left, all other terms to the right.

Add '54' to each side of the equation.

-54 + 54 + 49w = 44 + 54

Combine like terms: -54 + 54 = 0

0 + 49w = 44 + 54

49w = 44 + 54

Combine like terms: 44 + 54 = 98

49w = 98

Divide each side by '49'.

w = 2

Simplifying

w = 2
