Question

8-4w=1/3(6w-12)

Answer 1

-4w=1/3(6w-12)

We simplify the equation to the form, which is simple to understand
8-4w=1/3(6w-12)

Simplifying:
8-4w=0.333333333333*(6w-12)

Reorder the terms in parentheses
8-4w=+(+2w-4)

Remove unnecessary parentheses
+8-4w=+2w-4

We move all terms containing w to the left and all other terms to the right.
-4w-2w=-4-8

We simplify left and right side of the equation.
-6w=-12

We divide both sides of the equation by -6 to get w.
w=2
