Question

9-7w=8w+8
what is w??

Answer 1

-7w-8w=8-9
-15w=-1
w=-1/-15
w=0.6666.......

Answer 2

w=1/15

Explanation:

Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.

9−7w=8w+8

9+−7w=8w+8

−7w+9=8w+8

Step 2: Subtract 8w from both sides.

−7w+9−8w=8w+8−8w

−15w+9=8

Step 3: Subtract 9 from both sides.

−15w+9−9=8−9

−15w=−1

Step 4: Divide both sides by -15.

−15w/−15 = −1/−15

w = 1/15
