1/3w + 6 = -2
\n" ); document.write( "w/3=-2-6
\n" ); document.write( "w/3=-8
\n" ); document.write( "w=-8*3
\n" ); document.write( "w=-24 ans.
\n" ); document.write( "Proof:
\n" ); document.write( "1/3*-24+6=-2
\n" ); document.write( "-24/3+6=-2
\n" ); document.write( "-8+6=-2
\n" ); document.write( "-2=-2
\n" ); document.write( "
