Transcript text: Solve the following linear equation. Express your answer as an integer or a simplified fraction.
\[
2 w+20=8 w+20
\]
Solution
Solution Steps
To solve the linear equation \(2w + 20 = 8w + 20\), we need to isolate the variable \(w\). This involves moving all terms involving \(w\) to one side of the equation and constant terms to the other side. Then, we simplify to find the value of \(w\).
Step 1: Set Up the Equation
We start with the given linear equation:
\[
2w + 20 = 8w + 20
\]
Step 2: Move All Terms Involving \( w \) to One Side
Subtract \( 2w \) from both sides:
\[
20 = 6w + 20
\]
