Evaluate
−14w+w
Collect like terms by calculating the sum or difference of their coefficients
(−14+1)w
Add the numbers
−13w
−13w+17
−13w+17=0
Move the constant to the right-hand side and change its sign
−13w=0−17
Removing 0 doesn't change the value,so remove it from the expression
−13w=−17
Change the signs on both sides of the equation
13w=17
Divide both sides
1313w=1317
