Evaluate

5 w - 300 w - 20

To find the roots of the expression,set the expression equal to 0

5 w - 300 w - 20 = 0

Subtract the terms

More Steps

Simplify

5 w - 300 w

Collect like terms by calculating the sum or difference of their coefficients

(5 - 300) w

Subtract the numbers

- 295 w

- 295 w - 20 = 0

Move the constant to the right-hand side and change its sign

- 295 w = 0 + 20

Removing 0 doesn't change the value,so remove it from the expression

- 295 w = 20

Change the signs on both sides of the equation

295 w = - 20

Divide both sides

\frac{295 w}{295} = \frac{- 20}{295}

Divide the numbers

w = \frac{- 20}{295}

Solution

More Steps

Evaluate

\frac{- 20}{295}

Cancel out the common factor 5

\frac{- 4}{59}

Use \frac{- a}{b} = \frac{a}{- b} = - \frac{a}{b} to rewrite the fraction

- \frac{4}{59}

w = - \frac{4}{59}

Alternative Form

w \approx - 0.067797
