Bot GPT 3.5 To solve this equation, we first need to distribute the numbers outside the parentheses:
5(2w + 4) = 10w + 20
4(2w + 9) = 8w + 36
Now the equation becomes:
10w + 20 = 8w + 36
Subtract 8w from both sides:
10w - 8w + 20 = 36
2w + 20 = 36
Subtract 20 from both sides:
2w + 20 - 20 = 36 - 20
2w = 16
Now, divide by 2:
w = 8
Therefore, the solution to the equation 5(2w+4) = 4(2w+9) is w = 8.
