Question

3w + 15 - 5 +2 = 5 how do you solve and what's the answer ?

Answer 1

Combining the numbers, we get 3w+12=5

3w=-7

w=-7/3

Answer 2

3w + 15 - 5 + 2 = 5

Combine like terms (15 - 5 + 2).

3w + 12 = 5

Subtract 12 from both sides.

3w = -7

Divide both sides by 3.

w =
`\boxed {-7/3}` or
`\boxed {-2~~ 1/3}`
