-1w = 16

Divide each side by '-1'.
w = -16

Simplifying
w = -16
Subproblem 2
Set the factor '(10 + -1w)' equal to zero and attempt to solve:

Simplifying
10 + -1w = 0

Solving
10 + -1w = 0

Move all terms containing w to the left, all other terms to the right.

Add '-10' to each side of the equation.
10 + -10 + -1w = 0 + -10

Combine like terms: 10 + -10 = 0
0 + -1w = 0 + -10
-1w = 0 + -10

Combine like terms: 0 + -10 = -10
-1w = -10

Divide each side by '-1'.
w = 10

Simplifying
w = 10
Solution
w = {-16, 10}
