Solve for w.

3w − 2 = 7

w =

1 answer

To solve for \( w \) in the equation \( 3w - 2 = 7 \), follow these steps:

  1. Add 2 to both sides of the equation:

    \[ 3w - 2 + 2 = 7 + 2 \] \[ 3w = 9 \]

  2. Now, divide both sides by 3:

    \[ w = \frac{9}{3} \] \[ w = 3 \]

Thus, the solution is:

\[ w = 3 \]
