33+15w=3w-w+4w

33+15w=2w+4w

33+15w=6w

33= -15w+6w

33= -9w

same as 9w = -33

w= -33/9

W= 3 6/9

W= 3 2/3

First you have to add and subtract everything on both sides that have common terms.

33+15w=3w-w+4w then becomes

33+15w=6w
Then you subtract 15w from each side and get

33=-9w
Divide each side by -9 and get

(-33)/(9)=x
which we can simplify by 3

(-11)/(3) =x
