So, you have two sets of parentheses that multiply to give you 0. If you think about it the only way you can multiply two numbers together and get 0 is if at least one of them is 0. 

So, we set each parentheses equal to 0 and solve both for w:

1 + w = 0     OR      4w - 3 = 0

Then that would leave.....
W = -1 or W = 4/3

sorry you are right, but I used the wrong number in mine -.- you had 4w - 5 = 0, so w should be 5/4.
