#w = 10#

First, isolate the #w# term on one side of the equation and the constants on the other side of the equation while keeping the equation balanced:

#8.25 - color(red)(8.25) + 1/4w = 10.75 - color(red)(8.25)#

0 + 1/4w = 2.5#

#1/4w = 2.5#

Next, solve for #w# while keeping the equation balanced:

#color(red)(4) xx 1/4w = color(red)(4) xx 2.5#

#4/4w = 10#

#1w = 10#

#w = 10#
