Answer 1

To solve the equation −3w−9=−6, you can first isolate the variable w by adding 9 to both sides of the equation:

−3w−9+9=−6+9

This simplifies to:

−3w=3

Next, divide both sides of the equation by −3 to solve for w:

(-3w)/(-3) = 3/(-3)

This results in:

w = -1

Therefore, the solution to the equation is w = -1.
