Solve. Show all steps.

2(-w - 8) + 9 > -17

Answer 1

first...distribute that 2 into the parenthesis

Answer 2

so it would be -2w?

Answer 3

that's one part...but you also need to do the 2 times -8 part as well

Answer 4

ok so its -2w * -8 + 9 > -17

Answer 5

here....distribute...means multiply by each term in the parenthesis..so

2(-w - 8) + 9 > -17

2 times -w = -2w
2 times -8 = -16

so

-2w - 16 + 9 > -17
combine -16 + 9 = -7

-2w - 7 > -17
add 7 to both sides

-2w > -10
-----------
-2 -2

w < 5

*remember to flip that sign here*

hope that is what you got!
