Full solution

Q. Solve for ww.\newline2(w10)=82(w - 10) = -8\newlinew=w = _____
  1. Distribute property simplification: Simplify 2(w10)2(w - 10) by using the distributive property.\newline2(w10)2(w - 10)\newline= 2(w)+2(10)2(w) + 2(-10)\newline= 2w202w - 20
  2. Set equal to 8-8: Set the simplified expression equal to 8–8.2w20=82w - 20 = –8
  3. Isolate and add 2020: Isolate 2w2w by adding 2020 to both sides of the equation.\newline2w20+20=8+202w - 20 + 20 = -8 + 20\newline2w=122w = 12
  4. Divide by 22 to solve: Divide both sides by 22 to solve for ww.2w2=122\frac{2w}{2} = \frac{12}{2}w=6w = 6
