Question

The simplified equation after clearing the decimals is
-12.2 + 2.8w - 8.8 = 1.05w

Answer 1

-21=-4w

w=5.25

but you don’t want decimals

so- you round down

w=5

Explanation:

You combine like terms, and then make sure your variable is alone, the only way to get it alone from a ”mixed number” is to divide

you do the same thing to both sides

so divde each side by -4

-21/-4 = 5.25

or with it rounded down since it’s under a five

It’s 5 with the decimals removed

i hope this helps
