Question

complete the process of solving the equation. fill in the missing term and select the missing description. simplify any fractions. 13w + 15 = 15 13w = 0 w = \boxed{} \

$$\begin{aligned} &\\text{add 15 to both sides}\\\\ &\\text{subtract 15 from both sides}\\\\ &\\text{multiply both sides by 15}\\\\ &\\text{divide both sides by 15}\\\\ &\\text{apply the distributive property} \\end{aligned}$$

Explanation:

Step1: Determine the operation for \(13w + 15 = 15\) to \(13w = 0\)

To get from \(13w + 15 = 15\) to \(13w = 0\), we need to eliminate the \(+ 15\) on the left side. The inverse operation of addition is subtraction, so we subtract 15 from both sides. So the operation is "Subtract 15 from both sides".

Step2: Solve for \(w\) in \(13w = 0\)

To solve for \(w\), we divide both sides of the equation \(13w = 0\) by 13. So \(w=\frac{0}{13}=0\).

Answer:

The missing description is "Subtract 15 from both sides" and the missing term for \(w\) is \(0\). So the completed parts are: the operation is "Subtract 15 from both sides" and \(w = 0\).
