To solve the equation, we can combine like terms on the right side:
8 - 5w = 7 - 5w
Now, we can subtract 7 from both sides:
8 - 7 - 5w = -5w
This simplifies to:
1 - 5w = -5w
Next, let's add 5w to both sides to isolate the variable:
1 - 5w + 5w = -5w + 5w
This simplifies to:
1 = 0
Since the equation simplifies to 1 = 0, we have a contradiction. This means that there is no solution to the equation.
Therefore, the correct answer is:
O No Solution
8 - 5w = 7 - 5w
Now, we can subtract 7 from both sides:
8 - 7 - 5w = -5w
This simplifies to:
1 - 5w = -5w
Next, let's add 5w to both sides to isolate the variable:
1 - 5w + 5w = -5w + 5w
This simplifies to:
1 = 0
Since the equation simplifies to 1 = 0, we have a contradiction. This means that there is no solution to the equation.
Therefore, the correct answer is:
O No Solution
