Solve for $w$.
\[
256=-w+118
\]
\[
w=
\]
Solution
Solution Steps
Step 1: Isolate the variable term
Start by isolating the term containing \( w \). Subtract 118 from both sides of the equation:
\[
256 - 118 = -w + 118 - 118
\]
\[
138 = -w
\]
Step 2: Solve for \( w \)
To solve for \( w \), multiply both sides of the equation by \(-1\):
\[
138 \cdot (-1) = -w \cdot (-1)
\]
\[
-138 = w
\]
