I am really confused.i don't understand.please help me figure this out
W-8=26
W-8+_=26+_
W=_
You are solving the equation w - 8 = 26
If you add 8 to the left side of the equation, you will have only w on the left side. But, if you add 8 to the left side of the equation you must add 8 to the right side of the equation
w - 8 + 8 = 26 + 8
w = ?
34?
right
Don't worry, I'll help you figure this out step by step!
Let's start with the equation W - 8 = 26. The goal is to isolate the variable W on one side of the equation.
To do this, we need to get rid of the -8 on the left side. Since -8 is subtracted from W, we can cancel it out by adding 8 to both sides of the equation.
W - 8 + 8 = 26 + 8
Simplifying this equation, we get:
W = 34
Now, let's move on to the next equation: W - 8 + _ = 26 + _. We need to solve for W again.
In this equation, we have an additional variable represented by an underscore (_). To solve for both variables, we need additional information or equations. Without any additional information or equation, it is not possible to determine the values of W and _.
So, in this case, we cannot determine a specific value for W or _. We can only solve for W if we have more information or equations to work with.
I hope this helps clarify the process! If you have any more questions, feel free to ask.
