Question

can someone help me with this problem? 2(w-6.2)+5.4=13.1

Answer 1

solve for w?

Answer 2

use order of operations backwards

Answer 3

to get everything away from the w

The first step is to subtract 5.4 from both sides.

Answer 4

Do you understand how to continue from there?

Answer 5

okay
i think so
so like this 15.4=13.1
15.4 15.4

Answer 6

When you subtract 5.4 from both sides you should get:
2(w-6.2)=7.7

Answer 7

I don't understand what you did.

Answer 8

i need like a step by step how to do it. i dont understand how to do this

Answer 9

ok

Answer 10

You start with:
2(w-6.2)+5.4=13.1

You subtract 5.4 from both sides and end up with:
2(w-6.2)=7.7

You divide both sides by 2 and get:
w-6.2=3.85

You add 6.2 to both sides to get your final answer of:
w=10.05

Answer 11

ok
but show me how u did it.

Answer 12

order of operations:
parentheses
exponents
multiplication and division
addition and subtraction

Answer 13

I did it backwards because if you start with whatever the value for w is you would first do what's in the parentheses, then multiply then add

Answer 14

so in order to get w, you have to do it backwards.
