To solve for w, we need to combine like terms and isolate the variable:
15w + 3w + 19 = -17
Combining like terms gives us:
18w + 19 = -17
Next, we'll subtract 19 from both sides of the equation:
18w = -17 - 19
18w = -36
Finally, we'll divide both sides of the equation by 18 to solve for w:
w = -36/18
w = -2
Therefore, the solution for w is w = -2.
