Question 645831
{{{-5(w-4)-(7+7w)=-13w}}} Start with the given equation.



{{{-5w+20+w=-13w}}} Distribute.



{{{-4w+20=-13w}}} Combine like terms on the left side.



{{{-4w=-13w-20}}} Subtract {{{20}}} from both sides.



{{{-4w+13w=-20}}} Add {{{13w}}} to both sides.



{{{9w=-20}}} Combine like terms on the left side.



{{{w=(-20)/(9)}}} Divide both sides by {{{9}}} to isolate {{{w}}}.
