Question

8w+5=4(2w+1) what's the answer?

Answer 1

so you answer is Simplifying 8w + 5 = 4(2w + 1) Reorder the terms: 5 + 8w = 4(2w + 1) Reorder the terms: 5 + 8w = 4(1 + 2w) 5 + 8w = (1 * 4 + 2w * 4) 5 + 8w = (4 + 8w) Add '-8w' to each side of the equation. 5 + 8w + -8w = 4 + 8w + -8w Combine like terms: 8w + -8w = 0 5 + 0 = 4 + 8w + -8w 5 = 4 + 8w + -8w Combine like terms: 8w + -8w = 0 5 = 4 + 0 5 = 4 Solving 5 = 4

Answer 2

8w + 5 = 4(2w + 1)

Distribute 4 into the parenthesis:

8w + 5 = 8w + 4

Subtract 5 to both sides:

8w = 8w - 1

Subtract 8w to both sides:

0 = -1

Therefore, there are no solutions.
