Equations with DECIMALS!! That's okay. Are you allowed to use a calculator??
67.1= 29.7- 0.2w

Subtract 29.7 from each side:
67.1- 29.7= 29.7- 0.2w-29.7
37.4 = -0.2w

Next, divide both sides by -0.2:
37.4+=+-0.2w
37.4%2F-0.2+=+%28-0.2w%29%2F-0.2
-187+=+w

Check:
+67.1+=+29.7+-0.2w
+67.1+=+29.7+-0.2%2A-187
67.1+=+29.7+%2B+37.4
It checks!!
