To solve the equation, we need to simplify and combine like terms on both sides.
Starting with the left side of the equation, we have 8 - 5w.
On the right side, we have 7 - 3w - 2w.
Combining like terms on the right side, we have 7 - (3w + 2w) = 7 - 5w.
So the equation becomes:
8 - 5w = 7 - 5w.
Now, we can see that both sides of the equation are the same, so there are infinitely many solutions.
8−5w=7−3w−2w
