what is the solution of the equation w - 2 = -3
w - 2 = -3
Apply the inverse operation to both sides of the equation.
w - 2 = -3
Add 2
w = -1 should be the answer
you want to get w by itself and to make that happen you have to get rid of the -2. you get rid of -2 by adding 2 on both sides:
w-2=-3
w=-1
