8w + 5 = 4(2w + 1)

Distribute 4 into the parenthesis:

8w + 5 = 8w + 4

Subtract 5 to both sides:

8w = 8w - 1

Subtract 8w to both sides:

0 = -1

Therefore, there are no solutions.

so you answer is Simplifying 8w + 5 = 4(2w + 1)

Reorder the terms:
5 + 8w = 4(2w + 1)

Reorder the terms:
5 + 8w = 4(1 + 2w)
5 + 8w = (1 4 + 2w 4)
5 + 8w = (4 + 8w)

Add '-8w' to each side of the equation.
5 + 8w + -8w = 4 + 8w + -8w

Combine like terms: 8w + -8w = 0
5 + 0 = 4 + 8w + -8w
5 = 4 + 8w + -8w

Combine like terms: 8w + -8w = 0
5 = 4 + 0
5 = 4

Solving
5 = 4
