Answer:

-7/4

Explanation:

1. Move -4 to the other side and make it a positive 4 so -3w=w+3+4

2. Simplify the side where the 4 is so -3w=w+7

3. Move the w to the other side so -3w-w=7

4. Simplify once again so -4w=7

5. Divide both sides by -4 so the answer would be w= -7/4

And if you want to check plug in -7/4 in both of the W spaces and see
