Answer:

w = -28

Explanation:

[Given] w+2/2 + 2 = w-5/3

[Rewrite]
(w+2)/(2) +2=(w-5)/(3)

[Break up fraction]
(w)/(2) +
(2)/(2) + 2 =
(w-5)/(3)

[Combine like terms]
(w)/(2) + 3 =
(w-5)/(3)

[Break up fraction #2]
(w)/(2) + 3 =
(w)/(3) +
(-5)/(3)

[Add
(-5)/(3) to both sides]
(w)/(2) +
(14)/(3) =
(w)/(3)

[Subtract
(w)/(2) from both sides]
(14)/(3) =
(w)/(3) -
(w)/(2)

[Common denomiator of 6]
(14)/(3) =
(2w)/(6) -
(3w)/(6)

[Subtract #2]
(14)/(3) =
(-w)/(6)

[Multiply both sides by 6] 28 = -w

[S ubtract 28 from both sides & add w to both sides] w = -28

Have a nice day!
