Question

W-14 =23 solve for w

Answer 1

the answer is W=37

Explanation:

w-14=23

it has to add 14 on both sides when you add 14 on both sides the answer it gives you is 37 because the opposite of the subtraction is addition and the opposite of the sum is subtraction

Answer 2

w = 37

Explanation:

In order to solve for w you must add 14 to both sides which would be equivalent to w-14+14 = 23 + 14 which would be equal to w+0 = 37 or w = 37. This is allowed because of the addition property of equality which states that if the same number is added to both sides of an equation the equation will continue to be true.
