Answer 1

To solve for w, we need to isolate the variable w.

First, let's subtract 23.2 from both sides of the equation:

-0.1w + 23.2 - 23.2 = -0.8 - 23.2

Simplifying this, we get:

-0.1w = -24

Now, to isolate w, divide both sides of the equation by -0.1:

-0.1w / -0.1 = -24 / -0.1

This simplifies to:

w = 240

So, the solution for w is 240.
