If solving for w:
Factor out the common term
44(w+125b)=3478.804(w+125b)=3478.80
Divide both sides by 4w+125b=869.7w+125b=869.7
Subtract 125b from both sidesw=869.7−125b

If solving for b:

Factor out the common term
44(w+125b)=3478.804(w+125b)=3478.80
Divide both sides by 4w+125b=869.7w+125b=869.7
Subtract w from both sides125b=869.7−w125b=869.7−w
Divide both sides by 125b=
(869.7-w)/(125)

Hope this helped :)
