Question

solve for $w$.
$28 = -6w - 12 + 2w$
simplify your answer as much as possible.
$w = \square$

Explanation:

Step1: Combine like w terms

$28 = (-6w + 2w) - 12$
$28 = -4w - 12$

Step2: Add 12 to both sides

$28 + 12 = -4w$
$40 = -4w$

Step3: Divide by -4

$w = \frac{40}{-4}$

Answer:

$w = -10$
