Question

-8w + 4 = -36
Please explain your answer

Answer 1

Answer: w=5

Explanation:

Equation: −8w+4=−36

Step 1. You need to subtract 4 from both sides.

−8w+4−4=−36−4

−8w=−40

Step 2. Then divide both sides of the equation by -8.

−8w /−8 = −40 /−8

w=5

Answer:

w=5

Hope I could help! :)

Answer 2

Ok, first we will move like terms to one side. So we will have:

-8w=-36-4

So now we will have (if we add the like terms, as shown above):

-8w=-40

Now we do this:

x=-40/-8

So...

x=5

Answer:

x=5

Hope this helps!
