solve for w

Question

-45=-5+10w

Answer 1

To solve for \( w \) in the equation \(-45 = -5 + 10w\), follow these steps:

1. Add 5 to both sides to isolate the term with \( w \):

\[ -45 + 5 = 10w \]

\[ -40 = 10w \]

2. Divide both sides by 10 to solve for \( w \):

\[ w = \frac{-40}{10} \]

\[ w = -4 \]

So, the solution for \( w \) is:

\[ \boxed{-4} \]
