Question

Solve for w. −(1/4w+8)+8=3 w=52 w=134 w=−34 w=−12

Answer 1

For this case we have the following equation:

`- (\frac {1} {4} w + 8) + 8 = 3`

We apply distributive property considering that:

`- * + = -`

So:

`- \frac {1} {4} w-8 + 8 = 3\\- \frac {1} {4} w = 3`

We multiply by -4 on both sides of the equation:

`w = -4 * 3\\w = -12`

Answer:

`w = -12`
