Answer 1

To solve the equation \(-0.1w + 23.2 = -0.8\), we can follow these steps:

Step 1: Isolate the term with \(w\).

Subtract 23.2 from both sides:

\[ -0.1w = -0.8 - 23.2 \]

Calculating the right side:

\[ -0.1w = -24.0 \]

Step 2: Solve for \(w\).

Now, divide both sides by \(-0.1\):

\[ w = \frac{-24.0}{-0.1} \]

Calculating that gives:

\[ w = 240 \]

Solution: So, the solution is \(w = 240\).
