To evaluate the expression \( 1 - 5w \) for \( w = -1.1 \), simply substitute \(-1.1\) into the expression. That gives us \( 1 - 5(-1.1) \), which equals \( 1 + 5.5 \). Crunch those numbers, and you're left with \( 6.5 \)! It's essential to be careful with signs when substituting values like this. A common mistake is forgetting the negative sign, which can turn a problem from straightforward to tricky! Always double-check your substitutions to make sure everything lines up correctly.
