Question

complete the process of solving the equation. fill in the missing term on each line. simplify any fractions. \\(3(w + 2) = 18\\) \\(w + 2 = \square\\) divide both sides by 3 \\(w = \square\\) subtract 2 from both sides

Explanation:

Step1: Divide both sides by 3

$\frac{3(w+2)}{3} = \frac{18}{3}$
Simplifies to: $w + 2 = 6$

Step2: Subtract 2 from both sides

$w + 2 - 2 = 6 - 2$
Simplifies to: $w = 4$

Answer:

$w + 2 = 6$
$w = 4$
