Answer:

w = - 3

Explanation:

given

- 2w - 23 = 13w + 22 ( subtract 13w from both sides )

- 2w - 13w - 23 = 13w - 13w + 22 ( simplify both sides )

- 15w - 23 = 22 ( add 23 to both sides )

- 15w - 23 + 23 = 22 + 23 ( simplify both sides )

- 15w = 45 ( divide both sides by - 15 )


(-15)/(-15) w =
(45)/(-15) , that is

w = - 3
