6(2w+8)=4(5w-6) 12w+48=20w-24 am i doing it rite so far

OpenStudy (lgbasallote):

yes you are. carry on

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

what do i do nxt

OpenStudy (anonymous):

do i add the 12w and 20w

OpenStudy (lgbasallote):

you subtract 12w from both sides

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i got 48=3w-24

OpenStudy (lgbasallote):

shouldn't that be 8w?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

you should have 48=8w-24

OpenStudy (anonymous):

were did u guys get the 8 from

OpenStudy (lgbasallote):

20w - 12w = 8w

OpenStudy (anonymous):

20-12=8

OpenStudy (anonymous):

my bad i catched my mistake

OpenStudy (anonymous):

:}

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so then i aDD 48 TO EACH SIDE

OpenStudy (lgbasallote):

you add 24

OpenStudy (lgbasallote):

because 24 is the one with the 3w..you want to get rid of that 24

OpenStudy (anonymous):

U MEAN 8W

OpenStudy (anonymous):

you want to add 24 to each side. This will cancel out the 24 on the right and leave you with 72 on the left

OpenStudy (anonymous):

THEN I DIVIDE BY 8

OpenStudy (anonymous):

right

OpenStudy (anonymous):

THEN DO I DIVIDE BY 8

OpenStudy (lgbasallote):

yes you divide by 8

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so it would be w=9

OpenStudy (lgbasallote):

yes. nice

OpenStudy (anonymous):
