Question
Solve the equation
w=−3
Evaluate
−12−w=3w
Move the variable to the left side
−12−w−3w=0
Subtract the terms
More Steps

Evaluate
−w−3w
Collect like terms by calculating the sum or difference of their coefficients
(−1−3)w
Subtract the numbers
−4w
−12−4w=0
Move the constant to the right side
−4w=0+12
Removing 0 doesn't change the value,so remove it from the expression
−4w=12
Change the signs on both sides of the equation
4w=−12
Divide both sides
44w=4−12
Divide the numbers
w=4−12
