2w%2B4%287%2B3w%29=-14 Start with the given equation.


2w%2B28%2B12w=-14 Distribute.


14w%2B28=-14 Combine like terms on the left side.


14w=-14-28 Subtract 28 from both sides.


14w=-42 Combine like terms on the right side.


w=%28-42%29%2F%2814%29 Divide both sides by 14 to isolate w.


w=-3 Reduce.
