What is the value of w if 3 = w/5 + 5, w = -10, w = 10?

To solve the equation (3 = frac{w}{5} + 5), we will isolate (w).

1. Subtract 5 from both sides:

[

3 – 5 = frac{w}{5}

]

[

-2 = frac{w}{5}

]

2. Multiply both sides by 5 to solve for (w):

[

-2 times 5 = w

]

[

w = -10

]

So the correct solution is (w = -10). The option (w = 10) is incorrect.
