Solve 8x+7=-3w-4

$$8 x + 7 = - 3 w - 4$$

Solve for w

$$w=\frac{-8x-11}{3}$$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Swap sides so that all variable terms are on the left hand side.

$$-3w-4=8x+7$$

Add 4 to both sides.

$$-3w=8x+7+4$$

Add 7 and 4 to get 11.

$$-3w=8x+11$$

Divide both sides by -3.

$$\frac{-3w}{-3}=\frac{8x+11}{-3}$$

Dividing by -3 undoes the multiplication by -3.

$$w=\frac{8x+11}{-3}$$

Divide 8x+11 by -3.

$$w=\frac{-8x-11}{3}$$

Solve for x

$$x=\frac{-3w-11}{8}$$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Subtract 7 from both sides.

$$8x=-3w-4-7$$

Subtract 7 from -4 to get -11.

$$8x=-3w-11$$

Divide both sides by 8.

$$\frac{8x}{8}=\frac{-3w-11}{8}$$

Dividing by 8 undoes the multiplication by 8.

$$x=\frac{-3w-11}{8}$$
