Answer 1

can anyone help?

Answer 2

where will the answer help appear? this is my first time

Answer 3

if one side of the balance has 3 w's and 6 ones, then you can write this as: 3w + 6
if the other side has 4 w's and one 1, then you can write this as: 4w + 1

Since the two sides are in balance, then you can equate these two to get:

3w + 6 = 4w + 1

now use algebra to find w.
