[AI-generated answer — Bot GPT 3.5]

To solve for w, we start by combining like terms:

15w + 3w + 19 = -17

Simplifying the left side:

18w + 19 = -17

Next, we isolate w by subtracting 19 from both sides:

18w + 19 - 19 = -17 - 19

18w = -36

Finally, we solve for w by dividing both sides by 18:

18w/18 = -36/18

w = -2
