Question

Solve. 3 + 4(w + 5) = 31

Answer 1

w=2

Explanation:

3 + 4(w + 5) = 31

distribute 4(w + 5)

4 x w = 4w

4 x 5 = 20

rewrite your equation

3 + 4w + 20 = 31

add like terms

3 + 20 = 23

rewrite equation

4w + 23 = 31

subract 23 on both sides

4w + 23 = 31

-23 -23

4w = 8

divide by 4 on both sides to get w by itself

4w = 8

4 4

w = 2

Answer 2

8/4

We have,

3+4(w+5)

=31 Or, 3+20+4w

=31 or, 4w

=31−23

w=8/4

Thus, w comes out to be 2 .
