-w%2B1-w%2B1-w=-1%2Bw-1%2Bw-1%2Bw-1 Start with the given equation.


-3w%2B2=-1%2Bw-1%2Bw-1%2Bw-1 Combine like terms on the left side.


-3w%2B2=3w-4 Combine like terms on the right side.


-3w=3w-4-2 Subtract 2 from both sides.


-3w-3w=-4-2 Subtract 3w from both sides.


-6w=-4-2 Combine like terms on the left side.


-6w=-6 Combine like terms on the right side.


w=%28-6%29%2F%28-6%29 Divide both sides by -6 to isolate w.


w=1 Reduce.
