Question 358053
Just combine like terms.  


Put all the terms with the letters w on one side and the constants on the other.


Don't forget to change the signs when crossing the equal sign.


3w + 2 = w - 4


3w - w = - 2 - 4


2w = -6


To find w, we now divide both sides by 2.


w = -6/2


w = -3
