Hey there!


3w = 84


DIVIDE 3 to BOTH SIDES

3w/3 = 84/3

CANCEL out: 3/3 because it give you 1

KEEP: 84/3 because it give you the w-value


NEW EQUATION: w = 84/3


SIMPLIFY IT!


w = 28


Therefore, your answer is: w = 28


Good luck on your assignment & enjoy your day!

We can't really use w = 1 in this equation because it would be a false equation.

3w = 84

3(1) = 84

3 ≠ 84

If we were to solve for w then we can divide 3 to both sides.

3w = 84

3w/3 = 84/3

w = 28
