Answer 1

W=-1

i hope that this helps

Answer 2

`w=-1`.

Explanation:

We have been given an equation
`2w-5(w+1)=3w+1`. We are asked the equation for w.

Using distributive property
`a(b+c)=ab+ac`, we will get:

`2w-5w-5=3w+1`

`-3w-5=3w+1`

Subtract 3w from both sides:

`-3w-3w-5=3w-3w+1`

`-3w-3w-5=1`

Combine like terms:

`-6w-5=1`

Add 5 on both sides:

`-6w-5+5=1+5`

`-6w=6`

Divide both sides by -6:

`(-6w)/(-6)=(6)/(-6)`

`w=-1`

Therefore, our required equation would be
`w=-1`.
