Answer:


\boxed {w = - (7)/(4) }

Explanation:

We want to solve the linear equation -3w-4=w+3

We group like terms to get


- 3w - w = 3 + 4


- 4w = 7

Divide both sides by -4


w = - (7)/(4)

Now let us check


- 3 * - (7)/(4) - 4 = - (7)/(4) + 3


(21)/(4) - (16)/(4) = - (7)/(4) + (12)/(4)


(5)/(4) = (5)/(4)

This is true
