w=30
↓Steps Explained:↓
Solve for w
12w + 440 = 18w + 260
Group variables
Group our variables 12w and 18w
subtract 18w from both sides
12w + 440 - 18w = 18w + 260 - 18w
Cancel 18w on the right side:
-6w + 440 = 260
Divide each side by 12
| 12w | |
| 12 |
| = |
| 440 |
| 12 |
Group constants
Group our constants 440 and 260.
subtract 440 from both sides
-6w + 440 - 440 = 260 - 440
Cancel 440 on the left side:
-6w = -180
Divide each side of the equation by -6
| -6w | |
| -6 |
| = |
| -180 |
| -6 |
w = 30
