-2(2w-3)=w+1
first multiply out -2,
-4w + 6 = w+ 1 now we have to combin like terms notice there is a w on both sides so you can either add 4w to both sides or subtract 1w from both sides, i will do it both ways:
6 = 5w + 1 or -5w + 6 = 1 now you have to subtract 1 from both sides for the first one and subtract 6 from both sides on the second one
5 = 5w or -5w = -5 finally divide each side by 5, for the second one -5
in both ways you get w=1.
