Question

Please help !!!! 3(2w+8)=60

Answer 1

w=6

Explanation:

You first use distributive property of 3 to both 2w and 8 then subtract 8×3 from 60 to get 36. Then divide 36 by 6 to get what w equals. You get 6 by multiplying 3 by 2w which gives you 6w

Answer 2

w=6

Explanation:

Simplifying

3(2w + 8) = 60

Reorder the terms:

3(8 + 2w) = 60

(8 * 3 + 2w * 3) = 60

(24 + 6w) = 60

Solving

24 + 6w = 60

Solving for variable 'w'.

Move all terms containing w to the left, all other terms to the right.

Add '-24' to each side of the equation.

24 + -24 + 6w = 60 + -24

Combine like terms: 24 + -24 = 0

0 + 6w = 60 + -24

6w = 60 + -24

Combine like terms: 60 + -24 = 36

6w = 36

Divide each side by '6'.

w = 6

Simplifying

w = 6
