Answer
Subtract 3 from each side
Step-by-step explanation
In the equation:
[tex]w + 3 = - 4[/tex]
Subtracting 3 from both sides of the equation. We have:
[tex]w + 3 - 3 = - 4 - 3 \\ w + 0 = - 7[/tex]
Therefore: [tex]w = - 7[/tex]
The simplest way to do this is by moving 3 to the other side of the equation, where it then changes to -3 due to the equality sign (=). this is what I mean:
[tex]w + 3 = - 4 \\ w = -4 - 3 \\ w = - 7[/tex]
