Answer:
[tex]\boxed {x = -\frac{8}{9}}[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
Solve for the value of [tex]w[/tex]:
[tex]3(3w - 4) = -20[/tex]
-Use Distributive Property:
[tex]3(3w - 4) = -20[/tex]
[tex]9w - 12= -20[/tex]
-Add both sides by [tex]12[/tex]:
[tex]9w - 12 + 12 = -20 + 12[/tex]
[tex]9w = -8[/tex]
-Divide both sides by [tex]9[/tex]:
[tex]\frac{9w}{9} = \frac{-8}{9}[/tex]
[tex]\boxed {x = -\frac{8}{9}}[/tex]
Therefore, the value of [tex]w[/tex] is [tex]-\frac{8}{9}[/tex].
