Question 1152952

{{{7w-3(4w+8)=11}}}........solve for {{{w}}}

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

{{{-5w-24=11}}}

{{{-11-24=5w}}}

{{{-35=5w}}}

{{{-35/5=w}}}

{{{w=-7}}}

check:

{{{7w-3(4w+8)=11}}}........substitute {{{w}}} for {{{(-7)}}}

{{{7(-7)-3(4(-7)+8)=11}}}

{{{-49-3(-28+8)=11}}}

{{{-49-3(-20)=11}}}

{{{-49+60=11}}}

{{{11=11}}}
