Solve for w. 3= w - 2

1 answer

To solve for \( w \) in the equation \( 3 = w - 2 \), you can start by isolating \( w \) on one side of the equation. Here's how to do it:

  1. Add 2 to both sides of the equation:

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

  1. This simplifies to:

\[ 5 = w \]

So, the solution is:

\[ w = 5 \]
