Solve the following equation for W: 5 (w-2) + 10=3 (2w-9) + 5

w=22

Step-by-step explanation:

5 (w-2) + 10=3 (2w-9) + 5

1) Use the Distributive Property for 5 (w-2) and 3 (2w-9):

5w-10+10=6w-27+5

2) Combine alike terms:

5w=6w-22

3) Add a 22 to both sides:

22+5w=6w

4) Subtract 5w from both sides:

w=22
