Answer:

w=2.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the equation:


7=3w+1

First, subtract 1 from both sides of the equation:


\begin{gathered} 7-1=3w+1-1 \\ 6=3w \end{gathered}

Next, divide both sides by 3:


\begin{gathered} (6)/(3)=(3w)/(3) \\ 2=w \\ \implies w=2 \end{gathered}

The solution to the equation, w is 2.
