w=-11/4 or - 2 and 3/4

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this, we first have to cancel out the dividing by-3. We can use the inverse operation of division, which is multiplication. We have to multiply both sides by - 3, and the equation becomes 4w+5 = - 6. Then, we subtract 5 from both sides. We get 4w = - 11. We finally divide 4 on both sides, getting w=-11/4. - 11/4 is in improper fraction form and - 2 and 3/4 is in mixed number form.
