Answer:

w=2

Explanation:

3 + 4(w + 5) = 31

distribute 4(w + 5)

4 x w = 4w

4 x 5 = 20

rewrite your equation

3 + 4w + 20 = 31

add like terms

3 + 20 = 23

rewrite equation

4w + 23 = 31

subract 23 on both sides

4w + 23 = 31

-23 -23

4w = 8

divide by 4 on both sides to get w by itself

4w = 8

4 4

w = 2
