Answer: -10
Explanation:
14+12w= -16+9w.
Subtract 9w on both sides, and subtract 14 on both sides
14-14 +12w- 9w= -16-14+9w-9w
Cancel the 14, and 9w
12w-9w=-16-14
Subtraction
3w=-30
divide by 3
w=-10
All equations aim for the same thing, which is isolating the variable.
Step by step, we isolate the variable, using inverse operations and combining like terms. So let's do this.
Divide each side by 3.
