the question is 2(x-3w)= -3(x=w) here is how i worked it:
2x-6w= -3x-3w
2x+3x= 6w-3w
5x=3w
5x x 1/5= 3/5w
x=3/5w
is this right??

yes it is.....good job!
but you could save a step by immeditly after 5x=3w then divide 3w/5=x without that additional step

Assume question should read as:-
2.(x - 3w) = -3.(x - w)
2x - 6w = - 3x + 3w
5x = 9w
x = 9w/5
However question might be:-
2.(x - 3w) = - 3.(x + w)
2x - 6w = - 3x - 3w
5x = 3w
x = 3w/5
However we should not really have to guess what the question might be!

just another typing mistake.
x=3w/5 --not 3/5w
it's correct in your exercise book i hope.

Yes, assuming the typo you made (the "=" you put at -3(x=w)) really was supposed to be a "+".

basically u did not put ur question correctly and is really hard to judge if your answer correct or not. Your answer only be correct if the "-3(x=w) is "-3(x+w)".
