Question

Solve for W

I’m just tired of answering these questions on IXL at this point so that’s why I’m here

Answer 1

In this equation w = -1.1

In order to find this, get all w values to the right side and all numbers to the left side.

-2.27 + 9.1w + 1.3w = -3.4w - 17.45 ----> combine like terms

-2.27 + 10.4w = -3.4w - 17.45 ----> add 3.4w to both sides

-2.27 + 13.8w = -17.45 ----> add 2.27 to both sides

13.8w = -15.18 -----> divide both sides by 13.8

w = -1.1

Answer 2

-2.27 + 9.1w + 1.3w = -3.4w - 17.45

First, combine like terms

-2.27 + (9.1w + 1.3w) = -3.4w - 17.45

-2.27 + 10.4w = -3.4w - 17.45

Add 2.27 to both sides and 3.4w to both sides to isolate the w.

-2.27 (+2.27) + 10.4w (+3.4w) = -3.4w (+3.4w) - 17.45 (+2.27)

10.4w + 3.4w = -17.45 + 2.27

Simplify

13.8w = -15.18

Isolate the w. Divide 13.8 from both sides

13.8w/13.8 = -15.18/13.8

w = -15.18/13.8

w = -1.1

-1.1 should be your answer

hope this helps
