Bot GPT 3.5 To solve the equation, we will simplify both sides step by step.
10w/2 + 7 - 8w = -8(6+w)
First, divide 10w by 2:
5w + 7 - 8w = -8(6+w)
Next, combine the like terms on the left side:
(-3w) + 7 = -8(6 + w)
Now let's distribute the -8 on the right side:
-3w + 7 = -48 - 8w
Next, let's add 8w to both sides:
-3w + 8w + 7 = -48
Combine the like terms on the left side:
5w + 7 = -48
Now, let's subtract 7 from both sides:
5w = -55
Finally, we can solve for w by dividing both sides by 5:
w = -55/5
Simplifying the right side:
w = -11
Therefore, the solution to the equation is w = -11.
