Question

-4w+18w+2=10-6w

What is w?

Answer 1

w = 2/5 or 0.4.

Explanation:

-4w+18w+2=10-6w Add 6w to both sides:

-4w + 18w + 6w + 2 = 10 Subtract 2 from both sides:

-4w + 18w + 6w = 10 - 2

20w = 8

w = 8/20

w = 2/5.

Answer 2

2/5 or 0.4

Explanation:

- 4w + 18w + 2 = 10 - 6w

14w + 2 = 10 - 6w

14w + 6w + 2 = 10

20w + 2 = 10

20w = 10 - 2

20w = 8

w = 8/20

w = 2/5

Check:

-4(0.4) + 18(0.4) + 2 = 10 - 6(0.4)

7.6 = 7.6 correct
