1) 15 = 2W - 5
2) 24 = 2x - 9

  1) W = 10

  2) x = 33/2

Step-by-step explanation:

These are 2-step linear equations. Step 1: Add the opposite of the constant on the right. Step 2: Divide by the coefficient of the variable.

__

1) 15 = 2W -5

  20 = 2W . . . . . add +5

  10 = W . . . . . . . divide by 2

__

2) 24 = 2x -9

  33 = 2x . . . . . add +9

  33/2 = x . . . . divide by 2

As always, whatever you do to one side of the equation must also be done to the other side. That is, the same number is added to both sides; both sides are divided by the same number.
