solve with distributive property
7(w-5)=-35
7w-35=-35
If add 35 to both sides i get zero
7w=0
so w=0?
yes
14u+35
To solve the equation 7(w - 5) = -35 using the distributive property, you need to distribute the 7 to both terms inside the parentheses:
7w - 35 = -35
Next, you want to isolate the variable w, so start by adding 35 to both sides of the equation to cancel out the -35 on the left side:
7w - 35 + 35 = -35 + 35
7w = 0
Simplifying further, you can see that 7w equals zero. To solve for w, you divide both sides of the equation by 7:
7w/7 = 0/7
w = 0
Therefore, the value of w that satisfies the given equation is w = 0.
