Question

How would I solve for -12w+39=-4w-17?
Wouldn't subtract 39 from both side of the equation I don't know if I'm right and if I am what do I do after

Answer 1

solve for W

Answer 2

Step 1: Add 4w to both sides.
\[−12w+39+4w=−4w−17+4w\]
\[= −8w+39=−17\]

Answer 3

Step 2: Subtract 39 from both sides.
\[−8w+39−39=−17−39\]
\[=\]
\[−8w=−56\]

Answer 4

Step 3: Divide both sides by -8.
\[\frac{ -8w }{ -8 } = \frac{ -56 }{ -8 }\]
\[ w = 7\]

Answer 5

\[Answer: w = 7\]
