7 (w+2) + 0.5w=5

What is W if the answer is 5?

The answer to your question is w = 1.2

Step-by-step explanation:

Data

Equation 7 (w + 2) + 0.5w = 5

Expand 7w + 14 + 0.5w = 5

Simplify like terms (7w + 0.5w) + 14 = 5

7.5w + 14 = 5

Subtract 14 in both sides

7.5w + 14 - 14 = 4 - 15

Simplify

7.5w = - 9

Divide both side by 7.5 7.5/7.5w = 9/7.5

Simplify

w = 1.2
