Solve the following equation
1200-40w=120+50w
Solve for w
1200 - 40w = 120 + 50w
Group our variables -40w and 50w subtract 50w from both sides
-40w + 1200 - 50w = 50w + 120 - 50w
-90w + 1200 = 120
Group our constants 1200 and 120. subtract 1200 from both sides
-90w + 1200 - 1200 = 120 - 1200
-90w = -1080
w = 12
