Answer:
w = -1
Step-by-step explanation:
Given equation:
[tex]4w + 2 + 0.6w=-3.4w-6[/tex]
Add 3.4w to both sides:
[tex]\implies 4w + 2 + 0.6w+3.4w=-3.4w-6+3.4w[/tex]
[tex]\implies 4w + 2 + 0.6w+3.4w=-6[/tex]
Subtract 2 from both sides:
[tex]\implies 4w + 2 + 0.6w+3.4w-2=-6-2[/tex]
[tex]\implies 4w +0.6w+3.4w=-6-2[/tex]
Combine the terms in w on the left side of the equation and subtract the numbers on the right side of the equation:
[tex]\implies 8w=-8[/tex]
Divide both sides by 8:
[tex]\implies \dfrac{8w}{8}=\dfrac{-8}{8}[/tex]
[tex]\implies w=-1[/tex]
Therefore, the solution to the given equation is:
[tex]\boxed{w=-1}[/tex]
