Answer:

The answer is w = 5.

Explanation:

1) Divide both sides by -4.


w + 1 = ( - 24)/( - 4)

2) Two negative numbers makes a positive.


w + 1 = (24)/(4)

3) Simplify 24/4 to 6.


w + 1 = 6

4) Subtract 1 from both sides.


w = 6 - 1

5) Simplify 6 - 1 to 5.


w = 5

Therefor, the answer is w = 5.
