Question

Solve for w
−4 (w + 1) = −24

w =

Answer 1

W = 5

-4w - 4 = -24
+4 +4
-4w = -20
-4w/-4 = -20/-4
w = 5

Answer 2

Answer:

The answer is w = 5.

Step-by-step explanation:

1) Divide both sides by -4.

$w + 1 = \frac{ - 24}{ - 4}$

2) Two negative numbers makes a positive.

$w + 1 = \frac{24}{4}$

3) Simplify 24/4 to 6.

$w + 1 = 6$

4) Subtract 1 from both sides.

$w = 6 - 1$

5) Simplify 6 - 1 to 5.

$w = 5$

Therefor, the answer is w = 5.
