Question

Solve for w -24=-3w+21

Answer 1

Answer:

w = 11.25

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this problem, we are going to move all of the terms containing the variable w to the left side of the equation and all of the constant terms (ones with numbers only) to the right side of the equation.

w - 24 = -3w + 21

To do this, we should first add 24 to both sides of the equation.

w - 24 + 24 = -3w +21 + 24

If we simplify, we get:

w =  -3w + 45

Next, we should add 3w to both sides of the equation.

w + 3w = -3w + 3w + 45

4w = 45

Finally, we can divide both sides by 4.

4w/4 = 45/4

w = 11.25

Hope this helps!
