Solve for w. 6 + (w-10) = 5 Enter your answer in the box. w=

The answer would be w=9

The value of w in 6 + (w - 10) = 5 is w = 9

Solution:

From question given that

6 + (w - 10) = 5

On subtracting 6 on both sides, the above equation becomes

6 + (w - 10) - 6 = 5 - 6

By rewriting the above equation,

6 - 6 + (w - 10) = 5 - 6

0 + (w - 10) = 5 - 6

On simplifying the above equation,

(w - 10) = - 1

Removing the parenthesis in above equation, we get

w - 10 = - 1

Now, on adding 10 on both sides,

w-10+10=-1+10

On simplifying above equation,

w - 0 = 9

w = 9

Hence value of w = 9.
