Vaughn Mcgee · Answer 1

- (13 w + 7)

Step-by-step explanation:

Simplify the following:

-6 w - 8 + 1 - 7 w

Grouping like terms, - 6 w - 8 + 1 - 7 w = (-6 w - 7 w) + (1 - 8):

(-6 w - 7 w) + (1 - 8)

-6 w - 7 w = - 13 w:

-13 w + (1 - 8)

-8 + 1 = - 7:

-13 w + - 7

Factor - 1 out of - 13 w - 7:

Answer: - (13 w + 7)
