    30 + 2w = 2 • (w - 15)

    Equation at the end of step 1:

    Step 2:

    Equations which are never true:

    Solve : 2 = 0

    This equation has no solution.

    A a non-zero constant never equals zero.

    Solving a Single Variable Equation

    Solve : w-15 = 0

    Add 15 to both sides of the equation:

    w = 15

    You are trying to solve for "w", to do so you:

    20 + 2w = 50 Subtract 20 on both sides

    2w = 30 Divide 2 on both sides to get "w" by itself

    w = 15

    Your answer is B
