12w - 27 = - 34+14w Select the equation that has the same solution as the given equation above.

Anything with a value of w=3.5 would be equivalent.

To solve this, we cannot have a variable on both sides, so we will subtract 12w from both sides:

12w - 27 - 12w = - 34 + 14w - 12w

-27 = - 34 + 2w

Now add 34 to both sides:

-27+34 = - 34 + 2w + 34

7 = 2w

Divide both sides by 2:

7/2 = 2w/2

3.5 = w
