➷ We can use that statement to form an equation:

2w - 7 = 8

Now we need to solve for w

Add 7 to both sides:

2w = 15

Divide both sides by 2:

w = 7.5

Answer 2

Answer:

15/2

Step-by-step explanation:

"7 less than the product of 2 and a number" comes out to 2w - 7.

This quantity equals 8:

2w - 7 = 8.

Adding 7 to both sides isolates 2w:

2w = 15

Dividing both sides by 2 yields

w = 15/2
