Question 167647
the right side of the equation must be distributed the distribution rule for addition is as follows a(b+c)=ab+ac

so take 9w+5=4(3w-1) which equals 9w+5=12w-4....> now you need to subtract 9w from each side to get all the w's on one side 5=3w-4--->now add 4 to both sides to get constant terms all on one side {{{3w=9}}}  {{{highlight(w=3)}}} this is your answer.

now putting this answer back into the equation we get

9(3)+5=4(3(3)-1)

27+5=4(8)
32=32---check
