First you have to distribute (5(w-1)) then you have to subtract 5w from bot sides which leaves you with -5 -2=7. Then you add up like terms which gives you -7=7 (untrue) so the answer is 0 (none)

Solve. Note the equal sign. What you do to one side, you do to the other. Remember to follow PEMDAS.

First, distribute 5 to all terms within the parenthesis

5(w - 1) = (5)(w) + (5)(-1) = 5w - 5

Next, simplify. Combine like terms

5w - 5 - 2 = 5w + 7

5w - 7 = 5w + 7

Next, isolate the variable. Add 7 to both sides, and subtract 5w from both sides

5w (-5w) - 7 (+7) = 5w (-5w) + 7 (+7)

5w - 5w = 7 + 7

0 = 14 (Untrue).
