Exercise 85 Page 213

To solve the equation, isolate w on one side of the equation.

w=5

Practice makes perfect

To solve the equation we have to isolate w on one side. We will begin by moving all variable terms to the right-hand side and all constants to the left-hand side.

3w+2=4w-3
3w+2-3w=4w-3-3w
2=w-3
2+3=w-3+3
5=w
w=5

Therefore, w=5 is the solution of the equation.
