Question

Solve the following equation for W: 5(w-2)+10=3(2w-9)+5​

Answer 1

w=22

Explanation:

5(w-2)+10=3(2w-9)+5

1) Use the Distributive Property for 5(w-2) and 3(2w-9):

5w-10+10=6w-27+5

2) Combine alike terms:

5w=6w-22

3) Add a 22 to both sides:

22+5w=6w

4)Subtract 5w from both sides:

w=22
