Hey there!
If we're solving for the value of "w" then follow these following steps \(\frac{2}{5} (w)\) - 40 = ?\(\frac{2}{5}\) ← From the looks we have to simplify it\(\frac{2}{5} (w) - 40 = ?\) \(\frac{40 (5) }{5}\)\(\frac{2(w) - 200 }{5}\)Take out your like terms if you please! 2(w) - 200 which can also be equivalent to 2(w - 100)\(\frac{2(w -100)}{5}\) = ? \(\frac{2(w) - 100}{5}\) (5) 2 = ? ; 2 = 0 w - 100 = 0; change the symbol to an addition symbol.. So your problem becomes w + 100 = 0
Therefore, your answer would have to be \(w = 100\)
•By the way \(\frac{2}{5}\) is changed to 0.4
