W/2 - w/3 = 9-7

3w - 2w = 9-7

W = 2

Olsen · Answer 2

1. Multiply both sides by 6 (the LCM of 2, 3,)

3w + 42 = 2w + 54

2. Subtract 42 from both sides

3w = 2w + 54 - 42

3. Simplify 2w + 54 - 42 to 2w + 12

3w = 2w + 12

4. Subtract 2w from both sides

3w - 2w = 12

5. Simplify 3w - 2w to w

w=12

Your answer is 12
