Answer 1

Tiffany, are you trying to get us to do your work for you? :)

 

-3(w-9)+8w+1... well...

Lets think PEMDAS!

 

first distribute -3:                                                           -3w+27 +8w +1

then collect like terms:                                                           5w + 28

then... copy the answer here to your homework....       (copy provided answer)

 

Tiffany, I don't know what your major is, but I promise u, the lessons in this homework that you are having us do for u are actually important. You may have a family one day and have to balance a checkbook or make smart investments so that you can be a baller. The internet makes it easy to be lazy... while WyzAnt provides an AMAZING community of pro-answer creators, I encourage you to try these problems first, run into trouble, and THEN ask us for help.

 

Either way, hope this helped!

Answer 2

Hi Tiffany,

 

-3(w-9)+8w+1  just multiplying it out will give you

 

<=> -3w -9(-3) + 8w + 1

<=> -3w + 18 +8w + 1

<=> -3w + 8w + 18 + 1

<=> 5w + 19
