Answer:
w = -28
Step-by-step explanation:
[Given] w+2/2 + 2 = w-5/3
[Rewrite] [tex]\frac{w+2}{2} +2=\frac{w-5}{3}[/tex]
[Break up fraction] [tex]\frac{w}{2}[/tex] + [tex]\frac{2}{2}[/tex] + 2 = [tex]\frac{w-5}{3}[/tex]
[Combine like terms] [tex]\frac{w}{2}[/tex] + 3 = [tex]\frac{w-5}{3}[/tex]
[Break up fraction #2] [tex]\frac{w}{2}[/tex] + 3 = [tex]\frac{w}{3}[/tex] + [tex]\frac{-5}{3}[/tex]
[Add [tex]\frac{-5}{3}[/tex] to both sides] [tex]\frac{w}{2}[/tex] + [tex]\frac{14}{3}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{w}{3}[/tex]
[Subtract [tex]\frac{w}{2}[/tex] from both sides] [tex]\frac{14}{3}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{w}{3}[/tex] - [tex]\frac{w}{2}[/tex]
[Common denomiator of 6] [tex]\frac{14}{3}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{2w}{6}[/tex] - [tex]\frac{3w}{6}[/tex]
[Subtract #2] [tex]\frac{14}{3}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{-w}{6}[/tex]
[Multiply both sides by 6] 28 = -w
[S ubtract 28 from both sides & add w to both sides] w = -28
