Question

what is -6(w-4)+8w=2(w+9)

Answer 1

Answer:

Explanation:

The equation

$-6(w-4)+8w=2(w+9)$

can be solved for w by first expanding both sides

Now,

$-6(w-4)+8w=2w+24$

and

$2(w+9)=2w+18$

therefore, our equation becomes

$2w+24=2w+18$

Subtracting 2w from both sides gives

$24=18$

We see a contradiction here. 24 is not equal to 18; therefore, the equation given has no solutions.
