First you have to add and subtract everything on both sides that have common terms. 33 + 15 w = 3 w − w + 4 w then becomes 33 + 15 w = 6 w Then you subtract 15w from each side and get 33 = − 9 w Divide each side by -9 and get 9 − 33 ​ = x which we can simplify by 3 3 − 11 ​ = x

33+15w=3w-w+4w
33+15w=2w+4w
33+15w=6w
33= -15w+6w
33= -9w
same as 9w = -33
w= -33/9
W= 3 6/9
W= 3 2/3

To solve the equation 33 + 15 w = 3 w − w + 4 w , we simplify it to 33 + 15 w = 6 w . By isolating w , we find that w = − 3 11 ​ .
