To solve this equation for w, we need to get w by itself on one side of the equation.
Subtract 15 from both sides:
281 = -w + 15
281 - 15 = -w
266 = -w
Now, we need to isolate w by multiplying both sides by -1:
-1(266) = -1(-w)
-266 = w
Therefore, the solution to the equation is w = -266.
281=-w+15
