8-5w=7-3w-2w

1 answer

To solve the equation 8 - 5w = 7 - 3w - 2w, start by combining like terms on both sides of the equation:

8 - 5w = 7 - 5w

Next, add 5w to both sides of the equation:

8 - 5w + 5w = 7 - 5w + 5w

The -5w and +5w cancel out on the left side of the equation, resulting in:

8 = 7

Since this equation is not true, there is no value of w that will satisfy the equation. Therefore, the equation has no solution.
