+p=21%2B2w+ Start with the given equation


+p-21=2w+ Subtract 21 from both sides


+%28p-21%29%2F2=w+ Divide both sides by 2

So w is

+w=%28p-21%29%2F2








+5%28x-1%29%2F3=10%2F2+ Start with the given equation


+5%28x-1%29%2F3=5+ Reduce


+5%28x-1%29=15+ Multiply both sides by 3


+5x-5=15+ Distribute


+5x=20+ Add 5 to both sides


+x=4+ Divide both sides by 5
