Question

Solve for w.

−0.1(w)+23.2=−0.8

Answer 1

To solve for w, we will isolate the variable by performing the necessary operations.

First, we will subtract 23.2 from both sides of the equation:

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

This simplifies to:

-0.1w = -24

Next, to isolate w, we will divide both sides of the equation by -0.1:

(-0.1w) / -0.1 = -24 / -0.1

This gives us:

w = 240

Therefore, the solution for w is 240.
