3w - (7w + 12) = 2 (w - 3)

how do u do this step by step

w=-1

Step-by-step explanation:

3w-7w-12=2 (w-3)

1) Combine alike terms:

-4w-12=2 (w-3)

2) Use the Distributive property on the left side of the equation:

-4w+12=2w-6

3) Add a 6 to both sides:

-4w-6=2w

4) Add a 4w to both sides:

-6=6w

5) Divide both sides by 6:

w=-6/6

6) Simplify the fraction:

w=-1
