Answer: w = 5

Step-by-step explanation: I think you mean solve for w

1. distribute = -4w -4 = -24

2. add 4 from each side = -4w = -20

3. divide -4 from each side and you should get w = 5

you can plug it in to make sure it is right:

-4(5+1) = -24 -> -4(6) = -24 -> -24 = -24

W=-21 Move the four over to the 24 leaving you with negative 20 and then “subtract” one
