How do you solve #w(6w+1)=2#? Algebra Quadratic Equations and Functions Comparing Methods for Solving Quadratics 1 Answer Noah G Mar 15, 2016 First distribute the parentheses. Explanation: #6w^2 + w = 2# #6w^2 + w - 2 = 0# #6w^2 + 4w - 3w - 2 = 0# #2w(3w + 2) - 1(3w + 2) = 0# #(2w - 1)(3w + 2) = 0# #w = 1/2 and -2/3# Hopefully this helps!
