Solve for w 37-18+8w=67

$37 - 18 + 8 w = 67$

Step 1

Subtract $18$ from $37$ .

$19 + 8 w = 67$

Step 2

Move all terms not containing $w$ to the right side of the equation.

Subtract $19$ from both sides of the equation.

$8 w = 67 - 19$

Subtract $19$ from $67$ .

$8 w = 48$

Step 3

Divide each term in $8 w = 48$ by $8$ and simplify.

Divide each term in $8 w = 48$ by $8$ .

$\frac{8 w}{8} = \frac{48}{8}$

Simplify the left side.

Cancel the common factor of $8$ .

Cancel the common factor.

$\frac{8 w}{8} = \frac{48}{8}$

Divide $w$ by $1$ .

$w = \frac{48}{8}$

Simplify the right side.

Divide $48$ by $8$ .

$w = 6$
