Let's solve the equation step-by-step to find the missing terms and descriptions. The original equation is:
\[ \frac{w}{-14} + 12 = 18 \]
Step 1: Isolate the term with \( w \)
Subtract 12 from both sides:
\[ \frac{w}{-14} + 12 - 12 = 18 - 12 \]
This simplifies to:
\[ \frac{w}{-14} = 6 \]
Step 2: Solve for \( w \)
Now, we want to isolate \( w \) by multiplying both sides by \(-14\):
\[ w = 6 \times (-14) \]
Calculating that gives:
\[ w = -84 \]
So, we have filled in the missing term and solved the equation.
Now let's recap what we did:
- Missing term: The missing term in your statement is \(-14\) in the multiplication.
- Description: The correct description is "Subtract 12 from both sides".
Thus, the final filled-in message should read:
- \( w = -84 \)
- You Subtract 12 from both sides.
- You multiply both sides by –14.
Complete Summary
\[ w = -84 \] Subtract 12 from both sides. Multiply both sides by –14.
