Question

Solve for w 5w + 9z = 2z + 3w

Answer 1

`5w + 9z = 2z + 3w \\ 5w - 3w = 2z - 9z \\ 2w = - 7z \\ w = ( - 7z)/(2)`
The answer is w = -7z/2

Answer 2

`w=(-7z)/(2)`

Explanation:

`5w + 9z = 2z + 3w`

Solve the given equation for 'w'

`5w + 9z = 2z + 3w`

Move 3w to the left hand side. Subtract 3w on both sides

`2w + 9z = 2z`

Now subtract 9z on both sides

`2w=-7z`

Now divide both sides by 2

`w=(-7z)/(2)`
