300
Solve for w.
5(2w - 7) = 65
What is 10?
First, you must apply the distributive method by multiplying 5 by each of the terms in the parethesis.
5 x 2w = 10w and 5 x -7 = -35
New equation: 10w - 35 = 65
+35 +35
10w = 100
Since w is being multiplied 10, we must divide each side by 10. 100 divided by 10 = 10.
