    3w-7w-12=2w-6

    -4w-12=2w-6

    -12=6w-6

    -6=6w

    w=-1

    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
