The reason these posters were asking about a minus sign is because you dropped one when working out the answer. The correct answer is -3:
4-6(w+2)=10
Add 6(w+2) to both sides:
4 = 10+6(w+2)
Subtract 10 from both sides:
-6 = 6(w+2)
Divide by 6:
-1 = w+2
Subtract 3:
w = -3

Plug your answer of 3 back into the equation works and see if it works....

could you have possibly left out a minus sign?
