Question

Which of the following would eliminate the variable on the left side of the given equation?

36 - 19w = -6w + 41

Answer 1

You would add -19w to both sides to get it on one side.

Answer 2

add 19 w to both sides

Answer 3

then you get 36 by itself on the left side

Answer 4

To finish simplifying the equation you would then isolate the variable by subtracting 41 from both sides and dividing both sides by 13 (since you added 19w to -6w it becomes 13w)
