Question

How would you graph the solution to -5w + 9 = 14 on a number line?

Draw a point one unit to the right of zero.
Draw a point five units to the right of zero.
Draw a point five units to the left of zero.
Draw a point one unit to the left of zero.

Answer 1

draw a point one unit to the left of 0

Answer 2

Explanation:

-5w + 9 = 14

-5w = 14 - 9

-5w = 5

w = -5/5

w = -1

draw a point one unit to the left of 0......one unit to the left of 0 = -1
