Question

I want to know 2(w+1)-3(w+1)=4

Answer 1

w = -5

Step-by-step explanation:

The given equation is:

2(w+1) - 3(w+1) = 4

The first step is to get rid of the brackets as follows:

2(w) + 2(1) - 3(w) - 3(1) = 4

2w + 2 - 3w - 3 = 4

The second step is to combine like terms as follows:

2w - 3w + 2 - 3 = 4

-w - 1 = 4

The last step is to isolate the w on one side of the equation as follows:

-w = 4 + 1

-w = 5

w = - 5

Now, we check by substituting w = -5 in the original equation as follows:

2(-5+1) - 3(-5+1)

= 2(-4) - 3(-4)

= -8 - -12

= -8 + 12

= 4 ..............> verified

Hope this helps :)
