Question

Solve for w. 2(3w-7)=16 Simplify your answer as much as possible

Answer 1

w=5

Explanation:

2(3w-7)=16

6w-14=16

6w=30/6

w=5

Answer 2

Hey there! I'm happy to help!

First we use the distributive property to undo the parentheses. We multiply everything inside the parentheses by the number on the outside, which is 2.

6w-14=16

Now we add 14 to both sides.

6w=30

And we divide both sides by 6, isolating the w.

w=5.

Have a wonderful day! :D
