7 0

Subtract 5 from both sides so that you can can 3W by itself and then you divide both sides by 3W and you should get w=3

$\text{Apply Pythagorean theorem,}\\\\~~~~~~~~\text{Hypotenuse}^2=\text{Base}^2 + \text{Perpendicular}^2\\\\\implies 9^2 = \text{Base}^2 + \left(2\sqrt{14} \right)^2\\\\\implies 81 = \text{Base}^2 + 56\\\\\implies \text{Base}^2 = 81-56\\\\\implies \text{Base}^2 = 25\\\\\implies \text{Base} = \sqrt{25}\\\\\implies \text{Base} = 5\\\\\text{The length of the third side is 5 units.}$
