----    ----

 3       3

   w = 6

You and your 2 friends have 20 fruits in total and your friend's mother gave you and your friends two more.

Hope this helped.

Given :

Equation – 3w + 2 = 20

Solution :

  • 3w + 2 = 20

Transpose 2 to the right hand side of the given equation

  • 3w = 20 - 2

Now, simplify the right hand side

  • 3w = 18

Cross multiply

  • w = 18/3

  • w = 6

Hence, the solution of the equation is 6
