Question

What is the answer to 18 - 3w = 4w

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

$18 - 3w = 4w$

Let's get all of the terms with the $w$ on the right-hand side of the equation, and everything else on the left-hand side of the equation.

To do this, we should add $3w$ to both sides of the equation to remove the $-3w$ from the left-hand side of the equation:

$18 - 3w + 3w = 4w + 3w$

$18 = 7w$

Finally, to get the $w$ by itself, we can divide both sides by $7$:

$\frac{18}{7} = \frac{7w}{7}$

$w = \frac{18}{7}$
