For what value of w does ?
A
B
C
D
Correct answer: D
Explanation
Choice D is correct. To solve the equation, use the distributive property to multiply on the right-hand side of the equation which gives w – 10 = 2w + 10. Subtract w from both sides of the equation, which gives –10 = w + 10. Finally, subtract 10 from both sides of the equation, which gives –20 = w.
Choices A and B are incorrect and may result from making sign errors. Choice C is incorrect and may result from incompletely distributing the 2 in the expression 2(w + 5).
