Step-by-step explanation:
Simplifying
5 + 3w + 3 + -1w = 0
Reorder the terms:
5 + 3 + 3w + -1w = 0
Combine like terms: 5 + 3 = 8
8 + 3w + -1w = 0
Combine like terms: 3w + -1w = 2w
8 + 2w = 0
Solving
8 + 2w = 0
Solving for variable 'w'.
Move all terms containing w to the left, all other terms to the right.
Add '-8' to each side of the equation.
8 + -8 + 2w = 0 + -8
Combine like terms: 8 + -8 = 0
0 + 2w = 0 + -8
2w = 0 + -8
Combine like terms: 0 + -8 = -8
2w = -8
Divide each side by '2'.
w = -4
Simplifying
w = -4
