Question

What is the equation: 5w-9=26

Answer 1

First, add nine on both sides of the equal sign. Adding nine cancels the -9 out, whereas it changes 26 to 35.

Our current equation is 5w=35

Then divide by 5 on both sides, it has the same effect.

The answer to the equation is w=7

Hope this helps!

Answer 2

5w-9=26 add 9 on both sides

5w=35 then divide both sides by 5

w=7
