Answer 2

Answer:

w = -3.6

Step-by-step explanation:

Simplifying

8.7 + w = 5.1

Solving

8.7 + w = 5.1

Solving for variable 'w'.

Move all terms containing w to the left, all other terms to the right.

Add '-8.7' to each side of the equation.

8.7 + -8.7 + w = 5.1 + -8.7

Combine like terms: 8.7 + -8.7 = 0.0

0.0 + w = 5.1 + -8.7

w = 5.1 + -8.7

Combine like terms: 5.1 + -8.7 = -3.6

w = -3.6

Simplifying

w = -3.6
