Help please!!
−5(w−5)=−5
Solving Multi-Step Equations Using the Distributive Property

Answer 1

w=6

Explanation:

5(w−5)=−5

(−5)(w)+(−5)(−5)=−5(Distribute)

−5w+25=−5

Step 2: Subtract 25 from both sides.

−5w+25−25=−5−25

−5w=−30

Step 3: Divide both sides by -5.

−5w−5=−30−5

w=6

Answer 2

w=6

Explanation:

−5(w−5)=−5

= divide both sides by -5

=w-5=1

add 5 to both sides

= w=6
