Answer
not a solution
Work Step by Step
2(w+1) = 3(w-1);7
To check whether 7 is the solution of the given expression, substitute 7 for w.
2(7+1) = 3(7-1) (perform the operations in parentheses)
2*8 = 3*6 (multiply 2*8 and 3*6)
16 $\ne$ 18
The statement is false, because the values on both sides of the equation are different. Therefore, the number 7 is not the solution of the equation.
