Question

Solve for w. 5w + 9z = 2z + 3w

Answer 1

Answer:

w = -7z/2

Step-by-step explanation:

Our goal is to isolate w

1. subtract 3w from both sides to get 2w+9z = 2z

2. Subtract 9z from both sides to get 2w = -7z

3. Divide both sides by 2 to get w = -7z/2

We cannot simplify further, so this is our answer.
