remember what we said about opposite sides? are they equal or not?

Shaypop:

Equal

AZ:

Good! So what does w have to equal? What's that thing written on the other opposite side?

Shaypop:

3w-30=w

AZ:

Good!!! Now can you solve for w? we need to get it all by itself

Shaypop:

Take the w over

AZ:

yes, and what do you get when you subtract 3w on both sides

Shaypop:

2

AZ:

be careful, don't forget about the w! and is it positive 2 or negative 2? 2 or -2

Shaypop:

-2w

AZ:

so what is w - 3w =

AZ:

Yes good!

AZ:

So now we have -30 = -2w divide -2 on both sides what is w =

Shaypop:

15

AZ:

That's your answer! Well done!
