Question

-3(w+12)-11w=5 how to solve this problem

Answer 1

Firstly, foil -3(w + 12):
`-3w-36-11w=5`

Next, combine like terms:
`-14w-36=5`

Next, add 36 on both sides of the equation:
`-14w=41`

Lastly, divide both sides by -14, and your answer will be
`w=-(41)/(14)`, or approximately (rounded to the hundreths) -2.93.

Answer 2

`- 3w - 36 - 11w = 5`

`- 3w - 11w = 5 + 36`

`- 14w = 41`

`- w = (41)/(14)`

`w = - (41)/(14)`
or

`w = - 2 (13)/(14)`
or

`- 2.9284(4 \: d.p)`

correct ne if im wrong ^-^
