Question

complete the process of solving the equation.
fill in the missing term on each line. simplify any fractions.
$15w + 15 = 13w - 3$
$\quad \quad + 15 = -3$ subtract $13w$ from both sides
$2w = \quad \quad$ subtract 15 from both sides
$w = \quad \quad$ divide both sides by 2

Explanation:

Step1: Subtract 13w from both sides

$15w + 15 - 13w = 13w - 3 - 13w$
$2w + 15 = -3$

Step2: Subtract 15 from both sides

$2w + 15 - 15 = -3 - 15$
$2w = -18$

Step3: Divide both sides by 2

$\frac{2w}{2} = \frac{-18}{2}$
$w = -9$

Answer:

Missing terms in order: $\boldsymbol{2w}$, $\boldsymbol{-18}$, $\boldsymbol{-9}$
