To solve the equation 8-5w=7-3w-2w, we can start by combining like terms.
First, let's combine the -3w and -2w terms on the right side of the equation:
8 - 5w = 7 - 5w
Next, we can subtract 7 from both sides of the equation:
8 - 5w - 7 = 7 - 5w - 7
1 - 5w = -5w
At this point, we can see that the -5w term is present on both sides of the equation. When we subtract -5w from both sides, it cancels out:
1 - 5w - (-5w) = -5w - (-5w)
1 = 0
This leads to the conclusion that the equation has no solution. Therefore, the correct response is:
No Solution
