For what value of w makes the equation true? 135 = w + 98

W = 135-98 = 37

First you substitue the 98 to the left side then since it changes to negative in the rule of substition you can easily subtract and get the answer

w = 37

Explanation:

1. To solve this problem, you need to subtract both sides by 98. This will isolate the variable.

135 = w + 98 → 138 - 98 = w + 98 - 98

37 = w

2. Switch the sides

37 = w → w = 37

3. Your final answer should be w = 37
