How do you solve for ww in 2w - y = 7w - 22w−y=7w−2? Algebra Linear Equations Equations with Variables on Both Sides 1 Answer mynee19 · Stefan V. Sep 21, 2017 w = (2-y)/5w=2−y5 Explanation: Move the ww's to one side of the equals sign and everything else to the other: 2w - y (+2)(- 2w) = 7w - 2 (+2)(-2w)2w−y(+2)(−2w)=7w−2(+2)(−2w) 2 - y = 5w2−y=5w Divide everything by 55 (2 - y)/5 = (5w)/52−y5=5w5 (2 - y)/52−y5 Answer link Related questions How do you check solutions to equations with variables on both sides?
