Cevap

5
The correct answer is 5. We solve the equation by first distributing the coefficient −2-2 to (w−1)(w - 1), which yields 12−2w+2=412 - 2w + 2 = 4. Combining the constant terms gives 14−2w=414 - 2w = 4. Subtracting 14 from both sides results in −2w=−10-2w = -10. Finally, dividing by −2-2 isolates the variable, giving w=5w = 5.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Distribute the negative coefficient −2-2 to the terms inside the parentheses.
12−2w+2=412 - 2w + 2 = 4
To eliminate the parentheses and simplify the expression.
2
Combine the constant terms on the left side of the equation.
14−2w=414 - 2w = 4
To group like terms together.
3
Subtract 14 from both sides of the equation.
−2w=−10-2w = -10
To isolate the variable term on one side of the equation.
4
Divide both sides of the equation by −2-2.
w=5w = 5
To find the value of ww.
