$w=-14.1$

To find the value of $w$ , you just have to shift 8.7 to the right hand side and 9.7 will become negative
$w=-5.4-8.7$
= $-14.1$
So $w=-14.1$

$w = -14.1$

$w + 8.7 = -5.4$

Add $color(blue)(5.4)$ on both the sides

$w + 8.7 + 5.4 = -5.4 + 5.4$

$w + 14.1 = 0$

Add $color(blue)(-14.1)$ on both the sides

$w + 14.1 - 14.1 = 0 -14.1$

$w + 0 = -14.1$

$w = -14.1$
