Answer:

w = -1.6

Explanation:

Subtract 60 from 52. (-8)

You get 5w=-8.

Divide 5 by -8 to get w by itself. (-1.6)

To find if this is correct, do (5x-1.6)+60. (-8+60)

You get 52, therefore, w = -1.6

Subtract 60 from both sides to cancel it out. Now you have 5w=-8. Now divide 5 from both sides to cancel that out. Now you have w=-1.6.
