To answer this question, we have to follow the next steps:

1. Subtract 13 to both sides of the equation:


5W+13=34\Rightarrow5W+13-13=34-13\Rightarrow5W=21

2. Divide the resulting equation by 5 to both sides of the equation:


(5W)/(5)=(21)/(5)\Rightarrow W=(21)/(5)=4.2

Therefore, the value that solves this equation is W = 21/5 or W = 4.2 (using a decimal expression.)
