solve the equation for w.

Question

-0.1w + 23.2 = -0.8

Answer 1

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

1. Subtract 23.2 from both sides:

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

\[ -0.1w = -24 \]

2. Divide both sides by \(-0.1\):

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

\[ w = 240 \]

So, the solution is:

\[ w = 240 \]
