Answer:

118

Explanation:

145 = w + 27

Switch the + sign before the 27 and switch into a minus and move it to the other side.

145-27=w

145-27=118

w=118

Answer:

118

Explanation:

In the equation 145 = w + 27, you can solve for w by subtracting 27 from 145. That would give you 118. You can check this is correct by adding 27 to 118. 118 plus 27 = 145.
