Answer 2

its a math site super usefull tool.

Answer 3

asumeing you are being told to solve for W 4(w+7)-6=11(w+2)
W=0

Answer 4

plug 0 in and add up both sides and you know i am correct if it comes out where one side is equal tot he other.

Answer 5

to the other*

Answer 6

it came out to 1=2

Answer 7

hmm recheck im almost positive
its 0

Answer 8

w=0 :)

Answer 9

oh never mind your right
w=0

Answer 10

4(w+7)-6=11(w+2)

distribute the 4 which means multiply 4 times each term inside the parens
4w + 4*7 - 6 = 11(w + 2)
distribute the 11 on the right side
4w + 28 - 6 = 11w + 22
simplify 28-6 to 22
4w + 22 = 11w + 22
add -22 to both sides
4w + 22 -22 = 11w + 22 -22

22 -22 is zero, so this is

4w = 11w

add -4w to both sides
4w - 4w = 11w - 4w
0 = 7w
divide both sides by 7

0/7 = 7w/7
or
0 = w

Answer 11

THANK YOU!!!!

Answer 12

yay! np

Answer 13

I also have this one but idk if i did it right either
5(3x+12)=2(8x-16)
i did
5(3x)+5(12)=2(8x)-2(-16)
so
15x+60=16x+32
-32 -32
15x+28=16x
-15 -15
28=1x
28=x

Answer 14

i also did it another way and got 92

Answer 15

plug in 28 to both sides and check if both numbers on each side of the = sign are same then you are correct.

Answer 16

yeah when i do that it never works out right idk why iv done this before but its just not working out so well for me today

Answer 17

you have to be careful of the minus signs
5(3x+12)=2(8x-16)
i did
5(3x)+5(12)=2(8x)-2(-16)

notice on the right side of the equation
that 2(8x-16) can be written as 2(8x + -16)
It is less confusing if we DON'T USE SUBTRACTION. instead add negative numbers.

now you distribute the 2: 2*8x + 2*-16
you get
16x -32

which is different from what you got.

Answer 18

so you now have
5(3x)+5(12) = 2(8x)+ 2(-16)

can you finish ?

Answer 19

oh okay I get it thank you!
