Question

46=2-8w-3w

I tried adding -8w to both sides and i got the answer wrong... my math text book says the answer should be -4 but i don't know how to get it

Answer 1

add 8w to each side
46+8w=2-3w
now add three w to each side
46+11w=2
subtract 46 from each side
11w=-44
w= -4

Answer 2

Thanks, i understand that now
