Question 507533: Can you please help me solve 8w-8-6w=4w-7
here's what I did:
8w-8-6w=4w-7
8w-6w=2w
2w-8=4w-7
-4w -4w
-2w-8=-7
+8 +8
-2w=1
-2w/-2
1/-2
and I got -.5. But when I plugged it in I got -9 not -7.

You can put this solution on YOUR website!
It looks like you did everything right and you got the correct answer.
Let's check:
8w-8-6w+=+4w-7 Now substitute your answer of w+=+-1%2F2
8%28-1%2F2%29-8-6%28-1%2F2%29+=+4%28-1%2F2%29-7 Evaluate.
-4-8%2B3+=+-2-7
-12%2B3+=+-9
-9+=+-9
You did good!
