Solution Steps

Step 1: Isolate $w$

To solve the equation $aw + b = c$, we first isolate $w$ by subtracting $b$ from both sides to get $aw = c - b$.

Step 2: Solve for $w$

Then, we divide both sides by $a$ to find $w = \frac{c - b}{a} = \frac{76 - 6}{-7} = -10.$

Final Answer:

The given value(s) of $w$ that solve the equation are: -10.
