Question 472049
{{{3w-7=-8+7w-2w}}} Start with the given equation.



{{{3w-7=5w-8}}} Combine like terms on the right side.



{{{3w=5w-8+7}}} Add {{{7}}} to both sides.



{{{3w-5w=-8+7}}} Subtract {{{5w}}} from both sides.



{{{-2w=-8+7}}} Combine like terms on the left side.



{{{-2w=-1}}} Combine like terms on the right side.



{{{w=(-1)/(-2)}}} Divide both sides by {{{-2}}} to isolate {{{w}}}.



{{{w=1/2}}} Reduce.

Answer:


So the solution is {{{w=1/2}}}
