Solve for w
15w +3w +19=-17
To solve for w, we first need to combine like terms.
The like terms are 15w and 3w.
Combining 15w and 3w gives us 18w.
So now our equation becomes:
18w + 19 = -17
Next, we need to isolate w. To do this, we subtract 19 from both sides of the equation.
18w + 19 - 19 = -17 - 19
This simplifies to:
18w = -36
Finally, to find w, we divide both sides of the equation by 18.
w = -36/18
Simplifying this further, we have:
w = -2
