Question

What steps would you follow in order to solve the equation?

W/8-4=20

add 4 on each side and divide by 8
subtract 4 on each side and multiply by 8
add 4 on each side and multiply by 8
subtract 4 on each side and divide by 8

Answer 1

To solve the equation, you need to isolate/get the variable "W" by itself in the equation:

`(W)/(8)-4 =20` Add 4 on both sides

`(W)/(8) =24` Then multiply 8 on both sides to get rid of the fraction and to get "W" by itself

`(8)(W)/(8)=(8)24`

W = 192

Your answer is the 3rd option

Answer 2

add 4 on each side and multiply by 8

Explanation:

add 4 to undo the subtraction and multiply by 8 to undo the division
