Explanation:

Step 1: Define

8 = 4w + 53 + 5w

Step 2: Solve for w

  1. Combine like terms: 8 = 9w + 53
  2. Isolate w term: -45 = 9w
  3. Isolate w: -5 = w
  4. Rewrite: w = -5

Step 3: Check

Plug in w into the original equation to verify it's a solution.

  1. Substitute in w: 8 = 4(-5) + 53 + 5(-5)
  2. Multiply: 8 = -20 + 53 - 25
  3. Add: 8 = 33 - 25
  4. Subtract: 8 = 8

Here we see that 8 does indeed equal 8.

∴ w = -5 is the solution to the equation.
