Simplify this equation:
-9-6(w+5)
I think it is -15w+30. Please reply ASAP
@Ms Sue !! Please please help me
-9-6(w+5)
-9 - 6w - 30
-39 - 6w
Or -- depending upon interpretation and parentheses:
-15w - 75
To simplify the equation -9-6(w+5), you can distribute the -6 to both terms inside the parentheses:
=(-6)(w) + (-6)(5)
= -6w - 30
Therefore, the simplified equation is -6w - 30. It seems there was a mistake in your calculation.
To simplify the equation -9 - 6(w + 5), you can start by distributing the -6 to the terms inside the parentheses. This means multiplying -6 by both w and 5.
-9 - 6(w + 5) becomes -9 - 6w - 30.
Next, combine like terms. In this case, we have the constant terms (-9 and -30) and the w term (-6w).
Adding the constants, -9 and -30, we get -39.
So the simplified equation is -39 - 6w.
Therefore, your answer -15w + 30 is not correct. The correct simplification is -39 - 6w.
