Answer 2

Answer:

w = 5/8 or decimal w = 0.625

Step-by-step explanation:

Solve for w:

26 - 7 w = w + 21

Subtract w from both sides:

26 + (-7 w - w) = (w - w) + 21

-7 w - w = -8 w:

-8 w + 26 = (w - w) + 21

w - w = 0:

26 - 8 w = 21

Subtract 26 from both sides:

(26 - 26) - 8 w = 21 - 26

26 - 26 = 0:

-8 w = 21 - 26

21 - 26 = -5:

-8 w = -5

Divide both sides of -8 w = -5 by -8:

(-8 w)/(-8) = (-5)/(-8)

(-8)/(-8) = 1:

w = (-5)/(-8)

Multiply numerator and denominator of (-5)/(-8) by -1:

Answer:  w = 5/8
