Answer 1

Answer: w=-3

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

Answer:

w= -3

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve for w, we need to get w by itself. To solve, do the opposite of what is being done, and whatever is done to one side, needs to be done to the other.

30 = –6w + 12

First, subtract 12 from both sides, since it is being added

30-12= -6w +12-12

18= -6w

Divide both sides by -6, since it is being multiplied

18/-6= -6w/-6

The -6s on the right cancel, and we are left with

-3= w
