Question

-6 (w - 4 ) + 8w = 2 (w + 9)

Answer 1

`w=0`

Explanation:

First, we resolve the multiplication using the distributive property. We multiply -6 by each factor on the parenthesis.

`-6w +24+ 8w = 2w+18`

We add -6w and 8w.

`2w+24 = 2w+18`

Every term that contains a w goes to the left,and the ones that don't have it, to the right. Remember to change the signs!

`2w-2w= 18-24`

We add and substract:

`0w= -6`

We send the zero that is multiplying the W, to the right divding -6.

`w= -6:0`

`w=0`
