Answer 1

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

Step 1: Isolate the term with \(w\) on one side. We can do this by subtracting 23.2 from both sides:

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

This simplifies to:

\[ -0.1w = -24 \]

Step 2: Now, divide both sides by -0.1 to solve for \(w\):

\[ w = \frac{-24}{-0.1} \]

Calculating the right side gives:

\[ w = 240 \]

Solution: Thus, the solution for \(w\) is

\[ w = 240 \]
