Solve the following equation
800-20w=500+30w
Solve for w
800 - 20w = 500 + 30w
Group our variables -20w and 30w subtract 30w from both sides
-20w + 800 - 30w = 30w + 500 - 30w
-50w + 800 = 500
Group our constants 800 and 500. subtract 800 from both sides
-50w + 800 - 800 = 500 - 800
-50w = -300
w = 6
