Question

Solve for w. -3(-8w+1) -w=5(w-1)-1 Simplify your answer as much as possible. W =

Answer 1

Answer:

W = - 6

Step-by-step explanation:

-3(-8w+1) - w = 5(w-1) - 1 -> (Original equation)

24w - 3 - w = 5w - 5 - 1 -> (Expanded version)

23w - 3 = 5w - 6 -> (Simplified version)

18w - 3 = - 6 -> (Subtract 5w from both sides)

18w = - 3 -> (Add 3 to both sides)

w = 18/-3 which is - 6 -> (Doing 18/-3)
