$w = 5 . ¯ ¯¯ ¯ 45$ $w = 5.bar45$ , or $\frac{60}{11}$ $60/11$

$3.3 w + 5 = 23$ $3.3w + 5 = 23$

First we subtract 5 from both sides.

$3.3 w + 5 - 5 = 23 - 5$ $3.3w + 5 - 5 = 23 - 5$

$3.3 w = 18$ $3.3w = 18$

Now we want to get $w$ $w$ by itself, so we divide both sides by 3.3.

$w = 5 . ¯ ¯¯ ¯ 45$ $w = 5.bar45$ = $\frac{60}{11}$ $60/11$
