Explanation:

Combine 10w and 4w, as they're the only like terms;


14w=-84

Divide each side by 14 to evaluate what w equals;


w=-6

Check;


10(-6)+4(-6)=-84


-60+-24=-84 \: \checkmark

10w + 4w = - 84
14w = - 84
w = - 84 : 14
w = - 6 ( answer )
-----------------------------------
10 * (- 6) + 4 * (- 6) = - 84
- 60 + (- 24) = - 84
- 84 = - 84
