The goal is to isolate $w$ $w$ .

$125 + 20 w - 20 w = 43 + 37 w - 20 w$ $125+20w-20w=43+37w-20w$

by $20 w - 20 w = 0$ $20w-20w=0$ and $37 w - 20 w = 17 w$ $37w-20w=17w$ ,

$\Rightarrow 125 = 43 + 17 w$ $Rightarrow 125=43+17w$

by subtracting 43 from both sides,

$\Rightarrow 82 = 17 w$ $Rightarrow 82=17w$

by dividing by 17,

$\Rightarrow \frac{82}{17} = w$ $Rightarrow 82/17=w$

Hence, $w = \frac{82}{17}$ $w=82/17$ .

I hope that this was helpful.
