w = 18

hope it helps

Answer 2

`\huge \boxed {w = 18}`

Explanation:

Distribute 2 in the bracket.

`w + 6 = 2w - 12`

A constant and variable cannot add up or subtract each others. Therefore, move the same term to the same side.

`12 + 6 = 2w - w \\ 18 = w`

Answer Check

Substitute w = 18 in the equation.

`18 + 6 = 2(18) - 12 \\ 24 = 36 - 12 \\ 24 = 24`

Therefore w = 18 is the correct answer.
