Question

What is the answer to   5(9 − 3) = 

w  • 9 – 5 • 3 ?

Answer 1

5 (9 - 3) = w × 9 - 5 × 3 :First, distribute on the left side

45 - 15 = w × 9 - 5 × 3 :Then, take 45 - 15 on the left side and - 5 × 3 (Because of PEMDAS)

30 = w × 9 - 15 :Next, take 9 - 15

(30 = w × -6) ÷ -6 :Then, divide the equation by -6.

-5 = w

Answer 2

`5(9-3)=9w-5*3 \\\\ 5*6=9w-15 \\\\ 30=9w-15 \\\\ 30+15=9w \\\\ 45=9w \ |:9 \\\\ \boxed{w=5}`
