Answer:

w=2

Explanation:


6w= 18-3w


6w+3w=18-3w+3w (Add 3w to both sides)


9w=18


(9w)/(9)=(18)/(9) (Divide both sides by 9)


w=2

Hope this helps!

Hey there!

6w = 18 - 3w

18 - 3w = 6w
-3w + 18 = 6w


SUBTRACT 6w to BOTH SIDES

-3w + 18 - 6w = 6w - 6w


SIMPLIFY IT!

-9w + 18 = 0

SUBTRACT 18 to BOTH SIDES

-9w + 18 - 18 = 0 - 18


CANCEL out: 18 - 18 because it gives you 1

KEEP: 0 - 18 because it help solve for the w-value


NEW EQUATION: -9w = 0 - 18


SIMPLIFY IT!

-9w = -18


DIVIDE -9 to BOTH SIDES

-9w/-9 = -18/-9

CANCEL out: -9/-9 because it gives you 1

KEEP: -18/-9 because it give you the x-value


NEW EQUATION: x = -18/-9


SIMPLIFY IT!

x = 2


Therefore, your answer is: x = 2


Good luck on your assignment & enjoy your day!
