To answer this question, we can proceed following the next steps:

1. Apply the distributive property:


-6(w-4)+8w=2(w+9)\Rightarrow-6w+24+8w=2w+18

2. We can sum(subtract) like terms in the equations:


-6w+8w+24=2w+18
2w+24=2w+18

3. If we subtract 2w to both sides of the equation, we have:


2w-2w+24=2w-2w+18\Rightarrow24\\e18_{}

We can conclude that having this result, 24 is different from 18, we have a false result (24 = 18). Therefore, we do not have solutions to these equations.
