Answer:

a=
(-1)/(2)b+
(2)/(3)+
(1)/(6)w

Explanation:

Original equation: w=3(2a+b)-4

1. Distribute the 3 to the numbers inside parenthesis to get:

w=6a+3b-4

2. Subtract 6a from both sides to get:

-6a+w=3b-4

3. Subtract w from both sides to get:

-6a=3b-4-w

4. Divide both sides by -6 and simplify to get:

a=
(-1)/(2)b+
(2)/(3)+
(1)/(6)w
