Divide each side of the equation by $-900$ to solve for $w$ while keeping the equation balanced.

Divide each side of the equation by $color(red)(-900)$ to solve for $w$ while keeping the equation balanced.

$2700/color(red)(-900) = (-900w)/color(red)(-900)$

$-3 = (color(red)(cancel(color(black)(-900)))w)/cancel(color(red)(-900))$

$-3 = w$

$w = -3$
