How do I solve for x in the first equation and for w in the next?\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "– 3/4x – 2 = - 8
\n" ); document.write( " and
\n" ); document.write( "5/3(9 + w) = - 10
\n" ); document.write( "------------------
\n" ); document.write( "You get the variable isolated on one side of the equal sign.
\n" ); document.write( "– 3/4x – 2 = - 8
\n" ); document.write( "Start by adding 2 to both sides.
\n" ); document.write( "Make an effort.
