Question 216860


{{{5-3(w+4)=w-7}}} Start with the given equation.



{{{5-3w-12=w-7}}} Distribute.



{{{-3w-7=w-7}}} Combine like terms on the left side.



{{{-3w=w-7+7}}} Add {{{7}}} to both sides.



{{{-3w-w=-7+7}}} Subtract {{{w}}} from both sides.



{{{-4w=-7+7}}} Combine like terms on the left side.



{{{-4w=0}}} Combine like terms on the right side.



{{{w=(0)/(-4)}}} Divide both sides by {{{-4}}} to isolate {{{w}}}.



{{{w=0}}} Reduce.

Answer:


So the solution is {{{w=0}}}
