So firstly, add both sides by 6:
(1)/(4)w=2

Next, multiply both sides by 4, and your answer will be
w=8

Do the opposite of PEMDAS. Note the equal sign. What you do to one side, you do to the other

Add 6 to both sides

-6 (+6) 1/4w = -4 (+6)

1/4w = 2

Isolate the w. Multiply 4 to both sides

1/4w(4) = 2(4)

w = 2(4)

w = 8

8 is your answer for w

hope this helps
