Answer:


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.
