Question

What is the value of w?
1.2(w+5)=3
a. −2.5
b. −0.4
c. 0.4
d. 2.5

Answer 1

1.2w+6=3

1.2w=-3

1.2w/1.2=-3/1.2

w=-2.5

Answer 2

Answer,

W = -2.5

Explanation:

Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.

1.2(w + 5) = 3

(1.2)(w) + (1.2)(5) = 3 (Distribute)

1.2w + 6 = 3

Step 2: Subtract 6 from both sides.

1.2w + 6 − 6 = 3 − 6

1.2w = −3

Step 3: Divide both sides by 1.2.

1.2w/1.2  = -3/1.2

w = -2.5
