Answer:

w= 3/2 = 1.5

Explanation:

9-8w + 7w = 3(w+1)

First do the distribution 3(w+1) = 3w +3

9-8w + 7w = 3w+3

9-w= 3w+3

9 = 4w +3

6= 4w

divide both sides by 4

w= 6/4 (simplify to 3/2)= (1.5)

8w =12

7w= 10.5

3w=4.5

Answer:


(3)/(2)

Explanation:

Hey there

Steps to solve this problem :

9-8w + 7w = 3(w+1)

Add simlar elements : -8+7=-w

9-w=3w+3

Subract 9 from both sides:

9-w-9 = 3w + 3 - 9

simplfy :

-w = 3w - 6

subract 3w from both sides :

-w - 3w = 3w - 6 - 3w

simplfy :

- 4w = -6

divide both sides by -4:


(-4w)/(-4) = (-6)/(-4)

simplify :

w =
(3)/(2)

Have a wonderful day
