Find the value of 5w-1 given that 3w-4=8
Simplify your answer as much as possible

19

Step-by-step explanation:

Solve for the value of w.

3w - 4 = 8

Isolate the variable, w. Note the equal sign, what you do to one side, you do to the other. Do the opposite of PEMDAS.

First, add 4 to both sides:

3w - 4 (+4) = 8 (+4)

3w = 8 + 4

3w = 12

Divide 3 from both sides to fully isolate the variable, w:

(3w)/3 = (12)/3

w = 12/3

w = 4

Plug in 4 for w in the first expression & solve:

5w - 1

5(4) - 1

20 - 1

19

19 is your value.

Step-by-step explanation:

First, we need to solve for w by isolating it

3w-4=8

Add 4 to both sides

3w=12

Divide both sides by 3

w=4

Now we know w and can plug 4 in for w and solve

5w-1

5(4)-1

20-1

the direct variation says that:

then the equation is of the form is given by:

            where k is the constant variation.

from the given table:

consider any value of x and m(x)=y

x = 2 and m(x)=y = 3

substitute these value in [1]; we have;

divide both sides by 2 we get;

⇒

check:

put x = -1 and m(x) = -1.5

substitute in the equation:

-1.5 = -1.5                   true

therefore, the function m(x) represents a direct variation
