Question 472047
{{{8w+1=7+9w}}} Start with the given equation.



{{{8w=7+9w-1}}} Subtract {{{1}}} from both sides.



{{{8w-9w=7-1}}} Subtract {{{9w}}} from both sides.



{{{-w=7-1}}} Combine like terms on the left side.



{{{-w=6}}} Combine like terms on the right side.



{{{w=(6)/(-1)}}} Divide both sides by {{{-1}}} to isolate {{{w}}}.



{{{w=-6}}} Reduce.
