Answer:

w = - 3 and v = - 2

Explanation:

Because w + 6 = 3 you would subtract 6 and whatever you do to one side you would do to the other.

w= - 3

Answer:


w + v = 3

Explanation:

Solve for w


w + 6 = 3

Move 6 to subtract 3.


w = 3 - 6 \\ w = - 3

Solve for v


v - 4 = 2

Move 4 to add 2


v = 4 + 2 \\ v = 6

Solve for w+v

Substitute w = -3 and v = 6


w + v = - 3 + 6 \\ w + v = 3
