Answer:

w = 7, 8/5

Explanation:

(7 - w) (5w - 8) = 0

(7 - w) × (5w - 8) = 0

7 × 5w - 7 × 8 - w × 5w + w × 8 = 0

35w - 56 - 5w² + 8w = 0

- 5w² + 43w - 56 = 0

5w² - 43w + 56 = 0

5w² - 35w - 8w + 56 = 0

5w(w - 7) - 8(w - 7) = 0

(w - 7) (5w - 8) = 0

w - 7 = 0 OR 5w - 8 = 0

w = 7 OR w = 8/5

Thus, the value of w is 7, 8/5
