$\"1%2F%283w%2B6%29=-2\"$ clear the denominator but multiplyih both sides by $\"%283w%2B6%29\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"1+=+-2%2A%283w%2B6%29\"$ expand the right side using distribution
\n" ); document.write( " $\"1+=+-6w+-+12\"$ combine like terms. Add 12 to both sides
\n" ); document.write( " $\"13+=+-6w\"$ isolate the variable. Divide both sides by -6
\n" ); document.write( " $\"-13%2F6+=+w\"$
\n" ); document.write( "verify your answer by substiting it into the original equation and verifying the equality.
\n" ); document.write( " $\"1%2F%283%2A%28-13%2F6%29%2B6%29+=+-2\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"1%2F%28%28-13%2F2%29%2B6%29+=+-2\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"1%2F%28%28-13%2B12%29%2F2%29+=+-2\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"1%2F%28-1%2F2%29%29+=+-2\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"-2+=+-2\"$ \n" ); document.write( "

\n" );
