5-5w%2Bx=0 Start with the given equation



-5w%2Bx=0-5Subtract 5 from both sides


-5w=0-5-xSubtract x from both sides


-5w=-x-5 Combine like terms on the right side


w=%28-x-5%29%2F%28-5%29 Divide both sides by -5 to isolate w


--------------------------------------------------------------
Answer:
So our answer is w=%28-x-5%29%2F%28-5%29
