Question

9 = w - 14

A() 24

B() 126

C() 5

D() 23

Answer 1

If you’re solving for W these would be the steps.

9= w-14

You want to get the w on one side alone so you move the 14 to the other side by doing the opposite of it. Since it’s -14 you would add 14 on both sides.

9 = w -14
+14 = w +14
23 = w

Your answer is D. 23.
