5-(w+3)=-2(w+3)

Solution for 5-(w+3)=-2(w+3) equation:

Simplifying
5 + -1(w + 3) = -2(w + 3)

Reorder the terms:
5 + -1(3 + w) = -2(w + 3)
5 + (3 * -1 + w * -1) = -2(w + 3)
5 + (-3 + -1w) = -2(w + 3)

Combine like terms: 5 + -3 = 2
2 + -1w = -2(w + 3)

Reorder the terms:
2 + -1w = -2(3 + w)
2 + -1w = (3 * -2 + w * -2)
2 + -1w = (-6 + -2w)

Solving
2 + -1w = -6 + -2w

Solving for variable 'w'.

Move all terms containing w to the left, all other terms to the right.

Add '2w' to each side of the equation.
2 + -1w + 2w = -6 + -2w + 2w

Combine like terms: -1w + 2w = 1w
2 + 1w = -6 + -2w + 2w

Combine like terms: -2w + 2w = 0
2 + 1w = -6 + 0
2 + 1w = -6

Add '-2' to each side of the equation.
2 + -2 + 1w = -6 + -2

Combine like terms: 2 + -2 = 0
0 + 1w = -6 + -2
1w = -6 + -2

Combine like terms: -6 + -2 = -8
1w = -8

Divide each side by '1'.
w = -8

Simplifying
w = -8
