Question

9-8w + 7w = 3(w+1) how to solve

Answer 1

Answer:

$\frac{3}{2}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Hey there

Steps to solve this problem :

9-8w + 7w = 3(w+1)

Add simlar elements : -8+7=-w

9-w=3w+3

Subract 9 from both sides:

9-w-9 = 3w + 3 - 9

simplfy :

-w = 3w - 6

subract 3w from both sides :

-w - 3w = 3w - 6 - 3w

simplfy :

- 4w = -6

divide both sides by -4:

$\frac{-4w}{-4} = \frac{-6}{-4}$

simplify :

w = $\frac{3}{2}$

Have a wonderful day

Answer 2

Answer:

w= 3/2  = 1.5

Step-by-step explanation:

9-8w + 7w = 3(w+1)        

First  do the distribution   3(w+1)   =   3w +3  

 9-8w + 7w = 3w+3

9-w= 3w+3

9 = 4w +3

6= 4w

divide both sides by 4

w= 6/4  (simplify to 3/2)= (1.5)

8w =12

7w= 10.5

3w=4.5
