Answer:
w = -7
Step-by-step explanation:
Isolate the variable, w. Note the equal sign, what you do to one side, you do to the other.
Divide -2 from both sides:
(14)/-2 = (-2w)/-2
(14)/-2 = w
Note that when you are dividing:
- 1 negative & 1 positive sign will result in a negative answer
- 2 negative sign will result in a positive
- 2 positive sign will result in a positive
In this case:
(14)/-2 = -7
-7 is your answer for w.
