Question

Solve for w. −(1/4w 8) 8=3

Answer 1

w=-3/16=-0.1875

Step-by-step explanation:

First, you start by solving the parenthesis

-(1/4w8)8=3

-8/4w*8=3

-2w*8=3

Second, you solve the multiplication:

-16w=3

Then, you have to isolate the variable, so the number -16 that is multiplying the variable goes to the other side to divide number 3

w=-3/16=0.1875

Answer 2

To solve for d, it is important to remember that we can only add or subtract like terms. Also, that we have to isolate the variable should be solved to one side and all others to the other side. We do as follows:

1/8(−(1/4w 8) 8=3)
-2w = 3/8
w = -0.1875
