Question

−(14w+8)+8=3

w=52
w=134
w=−12
w=−34

Can somebody help me?

Answer 1

Hello!

let's make the following solution:

`- (14w + 8) + 8 = 3`

we eliminate the parentheses and change the signs

`- 14w - 8 + 8 = 3`

we eliminate the opposite numbers

`- 14w - \diagup\!\!\!\!8 + \diagup\!\!\!\!8 = 3`

so:

`- 14w = 3\;\:(simplify\:by\:-1)`

`14w = -3`

`\boxed{\boxed{w = -(3)/(14)}}\end{array}}\qquad\checkmark`

ps: the answer is correct, the question was poorly worked out with the wrong feedback.
