12
-12
2
-2

Answer 1

Hello!

Answer:

w=12

*The answer must have a positive sign.*

Step-by-step explanation:

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

$-5+\frac{w}{3}+5=-1+5$

Then, you simplify.

$\frac{w}{3}=4$

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

$\frac{3w}{3}=4*3$

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!
