Question

Having trouble solving a equation.
0.6w-0.4=-6+w

Answer 1

hi there, i will go over the steps on how to solve this problem.

Answer 2

First, add 0.4 to both sides. this should look like this:

0.6w-0.4=-6+w
+0.4 +0.4
---------------
0.62=-5.6+w

Answer 3

can you solve from here?

Answer 4

This is what I did
0.6w-0.4=-6+w
-0.8w-0.4=-6+0
-0.8w-0.4=-6+0.4
than I divided

Answer 5

and I got the answer 7

Answer 6

It says the answer is 14 but I dont see how

Answer 7

hmm..well let's see here.

so far we have 0.62w=-5.6+w

so subtract w from both sides

0.62w=-5.6+w
-w -w
---------------
-0.382w=-5.6

Answer 8

do you see what i did here? I think you didn't add up your similar variables correctly. If I'm not mistaken

Answer 9

if you divide these values, the answer is indeed 14
It's actually 14.357

Answer 10

I don't think I understand where the -0.382 came from...I'm sorry something so simple and I'm making it hard really ridiculous that I can't get this done already

Answer 11

lool don't worry about it! the -0.382 came from when you subtract 0.62w with -1w, or -w

Answer 12

think about it this way: 0.62-1

Answer 13

does that make sense? @Yogobro298

Answer 14

yes it makes more sense now

Answer 15
