The sum of a number w and 9 is multiplied by -3 in a real zip is minus 15 what is the number A w equal minus 14 b w = - 4 c w equal 4D w equals 8
To solve this problem, we can set up the equation:
(-3)(w + 9) = -15
Now, we can simplify the equation:
-3w - 27 = -15
Next, we can add 27 to both sides of the equation:
-3w = 12
Finally, we can divide by -3 to solve for w:
w = -4
So the correct answer is b) w = -4.
You sure
I apologize for the mistake in my previous response. Let's correct the solution:
Given: (-3)(w + 9) = -15
Expand the left side of the equation:
-3w - 27 = -15
Add 27 to both sides:
-3w = 12
Divide by -3 to solve for w:
w = -4
So, the correct answer is b) w = -4.
