How do I solve for w?

23 + 18w = - 21 + 14w

Simplifying

23 + 18w = - 21 + 14w

Solving

23 + 18w = - 21 + 14w

Solving for variable 'w'.

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

Add '-14w' to each side of the equation.

23 + 18w + - 14w = - 21 + 14w + - 14w

Combine like terms: 18w + - 14w = 4w

23 + 4w = - 21 + 14w + - 14w

Combine like terms: 14w + - 14w = 0

23 + 4w = - 21 + 0

23 + 4w = - 21

Add '-23' to each side of the equation.

23 + - 23 + 4w = - 21 + - 23

Combine like terms: 23 + - 23 = 0

0 + 4w = - 21 + - 23

4w = - 21 + - 23

Combine like terms: - 21 + - 23 = - 44

4w = - 44

Divide each side by '4'.

w = - 11

Simplifying

w = - 11

23+18w = - 21+14w

18w-14w = - 21-23

4w = - 44

w = - 11

Try to bring w values in one side, and non-w for other side.
