Question

Can someone please help me. -5 (3w-3)+(6w+1)=0

Answer 1

solve for w
first, distribute -5
-15w+15+6w+1=0
add like terms
-9w+16=0
add 9w to both sides
16=9w
divide both sides by 9
16/9=w

Answer 2

I assume you want to solve it so start off with the distributive property.

-5 (3w-3)+(6w+1)=0
-15w+15+6w+1=0 *negatives times positives are negative and negatives times negatives are positive*
Combine like terms
-9w+16=0 *Move constants and variables to opposite sides*
-16 -16
-----------------
-9w=-16
----- -----
-9 -9

w=16/9
