Question

What is 18w-2=10w+14?

Answer 1

w = 2

BECAUSE

The first step is subtract both sides by 10w. Once you do that you are left with

8w - 2 =+ 14

Then you add both sides by 2, leaving you with

8w = 16

Then you divide by 8, and you get your answer:

w = 2

Answer 2

The answer is 2. I know this because if you were to plug in 2 where the “w” is then it will give you your answer.

18(2)-2=10(2)+14
36-2=20+14
34=34

That’s how I got the answer.
