Question

What is the solution to the equation w+6=5w-10

Answer 1

w = 4

Explanation:

you would do this by re-arranging the equation

6 = 5w-10-w (move w to the other side)

6 = 4w-10 (because 5w-w = 4w)

6+10=4w (move 10 to the other side)

16 = 4w (add 6 and 10)

4 = w (divide both sides by 4)
