Answer:

-2 =w

Explanation:

9(w – 4) – 7w = 5(3w – 2)

The first step is to distribute

9w -36 - 7w = 15w -10

Combine like terms

2w -36 = 15w -10

Subtract 2w from each side

2w -36 -2w = 15w-10-2w

-36 = 13w -10

Add 10 to each side

-36+10 =13w-10+1-

-26 = 13w

Divide by 13

-26/13 =13w/13

-2 =w
