Question 368214
{{{4w+40=w+15}}} Start with the given equation.



{{{4w=w+15-40}}} Subtract {{{40}}} from both sides.



{{{4w-w=15-40}}} Subtract {{{w}}} from both sides.



{{{3w=15-40}}} Combine like terms on the left side.



{{{3w=-25}}} Combine like terms on the right side.



{{{w=(-25)/(3)}}} Divide both sides by {{{3}}} to isolate {{{w}}}.

Answer:


So the solution is {{{w=-25/3}}}
