2(2w + -6) = 6(w + -6) + 14
OpenStudy (anonymous):
Reorder the terms:
2(-6 + 2w) = 6(w + -6) + 14
(-6 * 2 + 2w * 2) = 6(w + -6) + 14
(-12 + 4w) = 6(w + -6) + 14
OpenStudy (anonymous):
Reorder the terms:
-12 + 4w = 6(-6 + w) + 14
-12 + 4w = (-6 * 6 + w * 6) + 14
-12 + 4w = (-36 + 6w) + 14
OpenStudy (anonymous):
Reorder the terms:
-12 + 4w = -36 + 14 + 6w
OpenStudy (anonymous):
Combine like terms: -36 + 14 = -22
-12 + 4w = -22 + 6w

Ya im not very good at math :P, sorry
OpenStudy (anonymous):
lol its ok

Solving
-12 + 4w = -22 + 6w
OpenStudy (anonymous):
there is still allot more.... continue?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
sure that would be nice XD

Solving for variable 'w'
OpenStudy (anonymous):
Move all terms containing w to the left, all other terms to the right.
OpenStudy (anonymous):
Add '-6w' to each side of the equation.
-12 + 4w + -6w = -22 + 6w + -6w

so 6w and 2w?? or 2w and w-6?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
6w and 2w
OpenStudy (anonymous):
Combine like terms: 6w + -6w = 0
-12 + -2w = -22 + 0
-12 + -2w = -22
OpenStudy (anonymous):
still a little confused...
OpenStudy (anonymous):
im not done yet hold on...

Add '12' to each side of the equation.
-12 + 12 + -2w = -22 + 12
OpenStudy (anonymous):
ok
OpenStudy (anonymous):
Combine like terms: -12 + 12 = 0
0 + -2w = -22 + 12
-2w = -22 + 12
OpenStudy (anonymous):
Combine like terms: -22 + 12 = -10
-2w = -10
OpenStudy (anonymous):
Divide each side by '-2'.
w = 5
