In order to solve this equation for w, we can do the following steps:
[tex]\begin{gathered} 15w-4=41 \\ 1.\text{ Add +4 to both sides of the equation:} \\ 15w-4+4=41+4 \\ 15w=45 \\ 2.\text{ Divide both sides of the equation by 15:} \\ \frac{15w}{15}=\frac{45}{15} \\ w=3 \end{gathered}[/tex]So we have that the value of w is 3.
