I presume that you need to solve for w?
6(w-5)-3w = w+10 First, apply the distributive property to the left side.
6w-30-3w = w+10 Now combine the variable, w.
6w-3w-30 = w+10
3w-30 = w+10 Subtract w from both sides.
2w-30 = 10 Now add 30 to both sides.
2w = 40 Finally, divide both sides by 2.
w = 20
Check:
6(w-5)-3w = w+10 Substitute w = 20
6(20-5)-3(20)= 20+10 Simpllify.
6(15)-60 = 30
90-60 = 30
30 = 30 OK!
