Can someone help please??

Answer 1

multiple 2/5 on both sides.40×2/5 gets you W

Answer 2

Hey there!

If we're solving for the value of "w" then follow these following steps
`(2)/(5) (w)` - 40 = ?
`(2)/(5)` ← From the looks we have to simplify it
`(2)/(5) (w) - 40 = ?`
`(40 (5) )/(5)`
`(2(w) - 200 )/(5)`Take out your like terms if you please! 2(w) - 200 which can also be equivalent to 2(w - 100)
`(2(w -100))/(5)` = ?
`(2(w) - 100)/(5)` (5) 2 = ? ; 2 = 0 w - 100 = 0; change the symbol to an addition symbol.. So your problem becomes w + 100 = 0

Therefore, your answer would have to be
`w = 100`

•By the way
`(2)/(5)` is changed to 0.4
