Evaluate

25 = - 2 w - 5 w - 17

Subtract the terms

More Steps

25 = - 7 w - 17

Swap the sides of the equation

- 7 w - 17 = 25

Move the constant to the right-hand side and change its sign

- 7 w = 25 + 17

Add the numbers

- 7 w = 42

Change the signs on both sides of the equation

7 w = - 42

Divide both sides

\frac{7 w}{7} = \frac{- 42}{7}

Divide the numbers

w = \frac{- 42}{7}
