Question

Please help!!!! w+ 5w + 4 = 3 (2w - 1) Show your work!!!!

Answer 1

First distributive property. 3 • 2w and 3 • -1. Now we have the expression w+5w+4=6w-3 Now we’ll do Combine Like Terms, so we do w+5w for 6w with a new expression of 6w+4=6w-3. After that, we’re gonna move the variables over with S.P.E (subtraction property of equalities) so subtract 6w from both sides to get 4=-3 (No Solutions).

Answer 2

No solution

Explanation:

Given equation:

`w+5w+4=3(2w-1)`

Distribute the parentheses:

`\implies w+5w+4=3 \cdot 2w- 3 \cdot 1`

`\implies w+5w+4=6w- 3`

Combine like terms:

`\implies 6w+4=6w-3`

Add 3 to both sides:

`\implies 6w+4+3=6w-3+3`

`\implies 6w+7=6w`

Subtract 6w from both sides:

`\implies 6w+7-6w=6w-6w`

`\implies 7=0`

As 7 ≠ 0 there is no solution.
