To solve the equation \( 5w + 3 = 28 \), follow these steps:
-
Subtract 3 from both sides: \[ 5w + 3 - 3 = 28 - 3 \] This simplifies to: \[ 5w = 25 \]
-
Divide both sides by 5: \[ w = \frac{25}{5} \] This simplifies to: \[ w = 5 \]
So, the value of \( w \) that makes the equation true is \( w = 5 \).
