Given the equation:
3w - 3 + 4 = 1 - 5w
Solve for w.
Solution:
In order to solve for w, we simply need to combine first similar terms.
3w - 3 + 4 = 1 -5w
3w + 1 = 1 - 5w
Transpose 5w and 1 to the opposite sides of the equation, hence it must be taken to note that in transposing a number, the sign changes.
3w + 5w = 1 - 1
8w = 0
w = 0
Final answer:
w = 0
