w+3>9

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Subtract 3 from both sides.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[W + 3 - 3 > 9 - 3\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[W > 6\]

You want to find the value of w, so you need it isolated on one side. w + 3 > 9 If you subtract 3, you'll cancel out the +3. But you need to subtract from both sides of the equation for this to work. w + 3 -3 > 9 -3 w > 9 - 3 As yahoo said, w > 6

Always keep the sign in front of the term. For, -4 < t + 8 to cancel out and undo + 8, you subtract 8 from both sides. -4 - 8 < t + 8 - 8 -12 < t When you add the negative and positive value of a number, the sum is always 0. (+)8 - 8 = 0 -8 + 8 = 0
