Answer:

Explanation:


18 - 3w = 4w

Let's get all of the terms with the
w on the right-hand side of the equation, and everything else on the left-hand side of the equation.

To do this, we should add
3w to both sides of the equation to remove the
-3w from the left-hand side of the equation:


18 - 3w + 3w = 4w + 3w


18 = 7w

Finally, to get the
w by itself, we can divide both sides by
7:


(18)/(7) = (7w)/(7)


w = (18)/(7)
