Question 576354
{{{4w-2(1-w)=-38}}} Start with the given equation.



{{{4w-2+2w=-38}}} Distribute.



{{{6w-2=-38}}} Combine like terms on the left side.



{{{6w=-38+2}}} Add {{{2}}} to both sides.



{{{6w=-36}}} Combine like terms on the right side.



{{{w=(-36)/(6)}}} Divide both sides by {{{6}}} to isolate {{{w}}}.



{{{w=-6}}} Reduce.
