Subtract 13w from 6w
This gives you -7 -18= -81.
Then you would move all the terms that are not containing w to the right side of the equation.
This gives you -7w= -63.
Next you will divide each term by -7w= -63, then by -7 and simplify
Your answer should be w= -9

6w-13w-18= -81
-7w - 18+ 18= -81+ 18
-7w/-7= -63/-7
w= 9
