Given the numerical equation:
-12u + 13 = 8w - 3
Solve for w.
Solution:
In order to solve for w, we first transpose -3 on the other side of the equation, hence it must be taken to note that in transposing a number, the sign changes.
-12u + 13 = 8w - 3
-12u + 13 + 3 = 8w
-12u + 16 = 8w
Divide both sides by 8 in order to cancel out 8w, leaving behind w.
(-12u + 16)/8 = 8w/8
-3/2u + 2 = w
Final answer:
-3/2u + 2 = w
