Hello! :)

The first step is to make sure all numbers are on the right side of the equation

3w-20=48

3w=48+20

3w=68

Now divide both sides by 3 to isolate x:

x=68/3

hope this helps you

Answer:

w=17/8

Explanation:

32w+(-20)=48

Add +20 to both sides.

32w=68

Divide 32 to both sides.

Then simplify 68/32 by dividing numberator and denominator by 4.

w=17/8
