Question

Solve the equation for w 5(w-2)+10=2w+6​

Answer 1

w = 1/2 or w = 3/6

Explanation:

5(w-2) + 10 = 2w + 6

5(w-2) + 10 = 5w + 10 - 10 = 5w (the 5 outside of the bracket multiplies with the digits inside, including the w)

Now you have : 5w = 2w+6

Transfer the 2w to the left side, which would make it negative, therefore

5w - 2w= 6

3w = 6

w = 3/6

or

w = 1/2 (simplified)

w=2
