Answer:

w = -5

Explanation:

Hello there!

9+7w-9=5w-10

Add 9 and -9 since we can add those

7w=5w-10

Use subtraction Prop of Equality (combining/simplifying like terms)

2w = -10

Now isolate the w by dividing 2w by 2 and use the division prop of equality

w = -5

Hope this helps. Feel free to comment for further explanation.
