Solve for w. - 2w + 2 = - 4 (w + 1) simplify your answer as much as possible

The solution for "w" in - 2w + 2 = - 4 (w + 1) is - 3

Solution:

From question, given that - 2w + 2 = - 4 (w + 1)

By multiplying the terms within the bracket with - 4 in right side, the above equation becomes,

-2w + 2 = - 4w - 4

By moving the terms in right side to left side, the above equation becomes

-2w + 2 + 4w + 4 = 0

Combining the like terms "-2w" and "4w", we get

2w + 2 + 4 = 0

2w + 6 = 0

2w = - 6

w = - 3

Hence the solution for "w" in - 2w + 2 = - 4 (w + 1) is - 3
