Answer:

The answer is 7.

Explanation:

Using the rules of PEMDAS, you have to figure out what number multiplied by -3, then plus 7, gives you 14. So, I just substituted 1 - 7 into W and I got -3(7) + 7 = -14.

Hope this helped ^^

Answer:

Explanation:

-3w + 7 = -14

subtract 7 from both sides

-3w + 7 - 7 = - 14 -7

-3w = -21

divide both sides by (-3)

-3w/-3 = -21/-3

w = 7

In short:

-3w + 7 = -14

-3w = -14 - 7

-3w = -21

w = -21/-3

w = 7
