$w = 6$ $w = 6$

Explanation:

In this problem, you would divide both sides of the equation by $- 2$ $-2$ to separate the $w$ $w$ from the rest of the problem. Dividing the $- 2 w$ $-2w$ by $- 2$ $-2$ would result in the $w$ $w$ being alone on one side of the equation.

Then you would divide the $- 12$ $-12$ by $- 2$ $-2$ , getting $6$ $6$ being equal to $w$ $w$ .

$\frac{- 12}{- 2} = \frac{- 2 w}{- 2}$ $(-12)/-2 = (-2w)/-2$

$6 = w$ $6 = w$
