Solve for a two step equation: what is the answer

5 - 2w = 1

w=2

Step-by-step explanation:

first subtract the 5 from both sides to keep it even

after subtracting the 5 you equation should look like this. - 2w = - 4

(1 - 5 = - 4)

you them divide by the - 2 to get W by itself

whatever you do to one side, you always do to the other so divide by - 2 on both sides

-4 : - 2 = 2

when dividing or multiplying it always turns to a negative

so W=2
