Question 228252


{{{7w-3(4w+8)=11}}} Start with the given equation.



{{{7w-12w-24=11}}} Distribute.



{{{-5w-24=11}}} Combine like terms on the left side.



{{{-5w=11+24}}} Add {{{24}}} to both sides.



{{{-5w=35}}} Combine like terms on the right side.



{{{w=(35)/(-5)}}} Divide both sides by {{{-5}}} to isolate {{{w}}}.



{{{w=-7}}} Reduce.

Answer:


So the solution is {{{w=-7}}}
