#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#
