Question

48 = 2(2w)+(4+2w)2. What Is w

Answer 1

Hello from MrBillDoesMath!

Answer:

w = 5

Discussion:

48 = 2 (2w) + (4 + 2w)2 =>

48 = 4w + 4*2 + (2w)*2 =>

48 = 4w + 8 + 4w => as 4w + 4w = 8w

48 = 8w + 8 => subtracting 8 from each side

48 - 8 = 8w => divide both sides by 8

(48 -8 )/8 = w =>

40/8 = w =>

w = 5 =>

Check: 2(10) + ( 4 + 2*5)*2 = 20 + 14*2 = 20 + 28 = 48

Thank you,

MrB
