Answer:

-
(8)/(9)

Explanation:

By using distributive property, we can multiply each thing inside the parentheses by 3, getting

9w-12=-20.

THen we can add 12 to both sides to eliminate the twelve on the right side

9w-12=-20

+12 +12

Then,

9w= -8

Then we divide each side by 9 to get

w=-
(8)/(9)
