7%2Bw-10=2w Start with the given equation



w-3=2w Combine like terms on the left side


w=2w%2B3Add 3 to both sides


w-2w=%2B3 Subtract 2w from both sides


-w=3 Combine like terms on the left side


w=%283%29%2F%28-1%29 Divide both sides by -1 to isolate w



w=-3 Divide

--------------------------------------------------------------
Answer:
So our answer is w=-3
