Question 499784
{{{5(1-2w)+8w=15}}} Start with the given equation.



{{{5-10w+8w=15}}} Distribute.



{{{-2w+5=15}}} Combine like terms on the left side.



{{{-2w=15-5}}} Subtract {{{5}}} from both sides.



{{{-2w=10}}} Combine like terms on the right side.



{{{w=(10)/(-2)}}} Divide both sides by {{{-2}}} to isolate {{{w}}}.



{{{w=-5}}} Reduce.
