Full solution

Q. Solve for ww.\newlinew1+(5)=3\frac{w}{-1} + (-5) = -3\newlinew=w = \underline{\hspace{2em}}
  1. Isolate term with w: Step 11: Isolate the term with w by adding 55 to both sides.\newlinew1+(5)+5=3+5\frac{w}{-1} + (-5) + 5 = -3 + 5\newlinew1=2\frac{w}{-1} = 2
  2. Multiply by 1-1: Step 22: Multiply both sides by 1-1 to solve for ww.w=2×1w = 2 \times -1w=2w = -2
