3w+2-w=4
-2 -2
3w-w=2
2w=2 divide both sides by 2
w=1

3w+2-w=4. The first step is to group your w's.
So
3w-w+2=4 Think of w as 1w, so this is simply a matter of 3-1
2w+2=4 Then minus 2 from both sides
2w=4-2
2w=2 then divide both sides by 2
w=2/2
w=1
I hope these steps help you. Algebra can be a hard concept to grasp at first, but don't let the letters confuse you. Good luck!

firstly, you group the like terms in the equation
so you have (3w-w) + 2 = 4
3w-w = 2w
so now you have 2w +2 = 4
you want to put the algebraic expression on one side of the equation and the numbers on the other so you minus 2 from the left (2w + 2 - 2= 4 - 2)
so now you have 2w = 2
divide both sides of the equation by 2
and you get w = 1

3w+2-w=4
2w+2 =4
2w = 4-2 = 2
w =1

Okay let's do this step by step.
3w-w+2=4
2w+2=4
-2
2w=4-2
2w=2
w=1

3w+2-w=4
-w -2 -2 ----> 2w=2
(above)divided by 2 =1

hi! w is 1... just substitute w with 1 and you'll get 4.
