33%2B15w=3w-w%2B4 Start with the given equation.


33%2B15w=2w%2B4 Combine like terms on the right side.


15w=2w%2B4-33 Subtract 33 from both sides.


15w-2w=4-33 Subtract 2w from both sides.


13w=4-33 Combine like terms on the left side.


13w=-29 Combine like terms on the right side.


w=%28-29%29%2F%2813%29 Divide both sides by 13 to isolate w.
