-1.5w-19.2

Jazlyn Orr · Answer 2

w = - 9.6

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Distribute

9.2 - 4w = - 2 (3w + 5)

9.2 - 4w = - 6w - 10

Step 2: Add 4w to both sides

9.2 - 4w + 4w = - 6w - 10 + 4w

9.2 = - 2w - 10

Step 3: Add 10 to both sides

9.2 + 10 = - 2w - 10 + 10

19.2 = - 2w

Step 4: Divide both sides by - 2

19.2 / - 2 = - 2w / - 2

-9.6 = w

Answer: w = - 9.6
