Question

For funsies, find what w equals to.

−4​w + 2 = 14

Answer 1

w = -3

Explanation:

-4w + 2 = 14

-4w + 2 - 2 = 14 - 2 (Subtract 2 from both sides)

-4w = 12

-4w/-4 = 12/-4 (Divide -4 from both sides)

w = -3

Answer 2

`-4w+ 2 = 14`

Subtract 2 from both sides:

`-4w+2-2=14-2`

`-4w=12`

Divide both sides by -4:

`(-4w)/(-4) =(12)/(-4)`

`= \fbox{w = -3}`
