Answer: w=-62.5
Explanation:
-14.7 = w/5 - 2.2
Add 2.2 to both sides, so -14.7 + 2.2 = w/5 - 2.2 + 2.2.
Simplify, so -12.5 = w/5.
Multiply all terms by the same value to eliminate fraction denominators, so 5( -12.5) = 5(w/5).
Cancel multiplied terms that are in the denominator, so 5(-12.5) = w.
Multiply the numbers, so -62.5 = w.
Final answer is w = -62.5
