W + 5 - 5 = 2W + 5
W = 2W + 5
-W = 5
W = -5

(w + 5) - 5 = 2w + 5
w + 5 - 5 = 2w + 5 (remove bracket cuz unneeded)
w = 2w + 5 (5 and -5 cancel on left side)
-w = 5 (subtract 2w on both sides)
w = -5 (convert -w to w)

Therefore w = -5

Proof:

(w + 5) - 5 = 2w + 5
(-5 + 5) - 5 = 2(-5) + 5
0 - 5 = -10 + 5
-5 = -5

Hope I helped :P
