Answer:
It depends on what you're looking for, but-
Writing an equation from words: w+14=5
Solving for w: w=-9
Step-by-step explanation:
Writing an equation from words:
"Sum" means the answer to an addition problem, for example,
1+1=2.
2 would be the sum.
Anyways, the word problem says the sum is 5. So this is what our equation looks like: ?=5
The two numbers being added together are "w" and "14," which leads us to our answer: w+14=5
Solving for w:
w+14=5
Subtract 14 from both sides to get your answer:
w= -9
