Question

I need help on this one. it says solve for w. and it says w-8=32. will someone help plz thx.

Answer 1

w= -4

Explanation:

First we know 8 x 4 is 32 so then we make the 8 negative

and divide -8 by 32 which is -4

You can check it by doing -4 x -8 which is 32!

Remember-

1. When you multiply two negatives it equals a positive.

2. You can check by plugging -4 where w is then solving.

3. If there is a subtraction next to a number (w-8) then whichever number the subtraction sign is in front of is negative.

4. If a variable is next to a number it means to multiply the variable by the number.
