Question

What is -6(w-4)+8w=2(w+9)

Answer 1

Explanation:

The equation

`-6(w-4)+8w=2(w+9)`

can be solved for w by first expanding both sides

Now,

`-6(w-4)+8w=2w+24`

and

`2(w+9)=2w+18`

therefore, our equation becomes

`2w+24=2w+18`

Subtracting 2w from both sides gives

`24=18`

We see a contradiction here. 24 is not equal to 18; therefore, the equation given has no solutions.
