12
-12
2
-2

Answer 1

Hello!

Answer:

w=12

*The answer must have a positive sign.*

Explanation:

First, you add by 5 from both sides of an equation.

`-5+(w)/(3)+5=-1+5`

Then, you simplify.

`(w)/(3)=4`

Next, you multiply by 3 from both sides of an equation.

`(3w)/(3)=4*3`

And finally, simplify and solve. You can also multiply by the numbers from left too right.

`4*3=12`

Final answer: →
`w=12`

Hope this helps!

Thanks!
