Q. Simplify the expression. Write your answers using integers or improper fractions.−27w+4(−5w+21)Answer:
Distribute 4: We have the expression: −27w+4(−5w+21)First, distribute the 4 into the terms inside the parentheses.
Combine terms with w: Distribute 4 to −5w and 21:4×−5w=−20w4×21=2So the expression becomes:-\left(\frac{\(7\)}{\(2\)}\right)w - \(20w + 2
Rewrite −20w: Combine like terms, which are the terms with the variable w. To combine −27w and −20w, we need to have a common denominator. Since 20 is the same as 240, we rewrite −20w as −240w.
Combine w terms: Now we have:−(27)w−(240)w+2Combine the w terms:−(27+240)w+2
Simplify the fraction: Simplify the fraction:−(27+240)=−(247)So the expression becomes:-\left(\frac{\(47\)}{\(2\)}\right)w + \(2
Final expression: The expression is now simplified. There are no like terms left to combine, and the expression is written using an integer and an improper fraction.
