Answer:
The value of w in 6 + (w – 10) = 5 is w = 9
Solution:
From question given that
6 + (w - 10) = 5
On subtracting 6 on both sides, the above equation becomes
6 + (w - 10) - 6 = 5 - 6
By rewriting the above equation,
6 - 6 + (w - 10) = 5 - 6
0 + (w - 10) = 5 - 6
On simplifying the above equation,
(w - 10) = -1
Removing the parenthesis in above equation, we get
w - 10 = -1
Now, on adding 10 on both sides,
w-10+10=-1+10
On simplifying above equation,
w – 0 = 9
w = 9
Hence value of w = 9.
