To simplify this expression


-6w+(-8)+2+(-7w)

First we eliminate the parenthesis:


-6w-8+2-7w

Now we have to take common factors. Note that w is into the first and last term, so:


w(-6-7)-8+2

We solve the parenthesis next to w and add the numbers on the right


w(-13)-6

And finally, the number multiplying a variable like w has to be on the left, so the simplified expression is:


-13w-6
