Question

W+3=4w-6 solve for w= ?

Answer 1

Equation:
`w+3=4w-6`

To solve for w, you need to get w on one side.

Add 6 to each side

`w+3+6=4w-6+6`

Subtract w from each side

`w-w+9=4w-w`


`9=3w` is what the equation is now with w on one side.

The last step now to find the value of w is to divide 9 by 3w (always divide the number by the variables when doing these type of equations)


`9` ÷
`3=3`

Answer: w=3

Answer 2

w + 3 = 4w - 6
4w - w = 3 + 6
3w = 9
w = 3
