Solve the following equation
5.50w+50=7.75w+18.50
Solve for w
5.50w + 50 = 7.75w + 18.50
Group our variables 5.50w and 7.75w subtract 7.75w from both sides
5.50w + 50 - 7.75w = 7.75w + 18.5 - 7.75w
-2.25w + 50 = 18.50
Group our constants 50 and 18.50. subtract 50 from both sides
-2.25w + 50 - 50 = 18.50 - 50
-2.25w = -31.5
w = 14
