Answer:Simplifying
3(2w + -7) = 3
Reorder the terms:
3(-7 + 2w) = 3
(-7 * 3 + 2w * 3) = 3
(-21 + 6w) = 3
Solving
-21 + 6w = 3
Solving for variable 'w'.
Move all terms containing w to the left, all other terms to the right.
Add '21' to each side of the equation.
-21 + 21 + 6w = 3 + 21
Combine like terms: -21 + 21 = 0
0 + 6w = 3 + 21
6w = 3 + 21
Combine like terms: 3 + 21 = 24
6w = 24
Divide each side by '6'.
w = 4
Simplifying
w = 4
