solve equation. express numbers in exact simplist form. 7w+2(w+5)=0
WRONG! W is not -10/9.
Apologies for the error. Let's solve the equation correctly.
7w + 2(w + 5) = 0
Distribute the 2:
7w + 2w + 10 = 0
Combine like terms:
9w + 10 = 0
Subtract 10 from both sides:
9w = -10
Divide by 9 on both sides:
w = -10/9
Therefore, w = -10/9 is indeed the correct solution to the equation.
You did something wrong because -10/9 is still counted as wrong.
Let's revisit the equation and solve it step by step:
7w + 2(w + 5) = 0
Distribute the 2:
7w + 2w + 10 = 0
Combine like terms:
9w + 10 = 0
Subtract 10 from both sides:
9w = -10
Divide by 9 on both sides to isolate w:
w = -10/9
After simplification, the solution for the equation 7w + 2(w + 5) = 0 is w = -10/9.
To solve the equation 7w + 2(w + 5) = 0, first distribute the 2 on the left side:
7w + 2w + 10 = 0
Combine like terms:
9w + 10 = 0
Subtract 10 from both sides:
9w = -10
Divide by 9 on both sides to isolate w:
w = -10/9
Therefore, the solution to the equation in exact simplest form is w = -10/9.
