2\left(1-3w-6+2\left(w+3\right)\right)=5w
Use the distributive property to multiply -3 by w+2.
2\left(-5-3w+2\left(w+3\right)\right)=5w
Subtract 6 from 1 to get -5.
2\left(-5-3w+2w+6\right)=5w
Use the distributive property to multiply 2 by w+3.
2\left(-5-w+6\right)=5w
Combine -3w and 2w to get -w.
2\left(1-w\right)=5w
Add -5 and 6 to get 1.
2-2w=5w
Use the distributive property to multiply 2 by 1-w.
2-2w-5w=0
Subtract 5w from both sides.
2-7w=0
Combine -2w and -5w to get -7w.
-7w=-2
Subtract 2 from both sides. Anything subtracted from zero gives its negation.
w=\frac{-2}{-7}
Divide both sides by -7.
w=\frac{2}{7}
Fraction \frac{-2}{-7} can be simplified to \frac{2}{7} by removing the negative sign from both the numerator and the denominator.
