Answer:

-7w

Explanation:

-2w-5w

so you have to subtract -2 times 5 for now you can ignore the variable and just subtract them. But when you get your answer you have to place w next to it. YOu can ignore the variable because they have the same variable. But with -2w-5x you can't and also it is not possible two subtract -2w from 5x

-2-5

-7

-7w
