Solve for w

40w + 50 = 450

Divide each side by 40

40w
40
=
  
50
40

Group constants

Group our constants 50 and 450.
subtract 50 from both sides

40w + 50 - 50 = 450 - 50

Cancel 50 on the left side:

40w = 400

Divide each side of the equation by 40

40w
40
=
  
400
40

w = 10

Final Answer


w = 10
