2(w-1)-4=4(w-1)

Solution for 2(w-1)-4=4(w-1) equation:

Simplifying
2(w + -1) + -4 = 4(w + -1)

Reorder the terms:
2(-1 + w) + -4 = 4(w + -1)
(-1 * 2 + w * 2) + -4 = 4(w + -1)
(-2 + 2w) + -4 = 4(w + -1)

Reorder the terms:
-2 + -4 + 2w = 4(w + -1)

Combine like terms: -2 + -4 = -6
-6 + 2w = 4(w + -1)

Reorder the terms:
-6 + 2w = 4(-1 + w)
-6 + 2w = (-1 * 4 + w * 4)
-6 + 2w = (-4 + 4w)

Solving
-6 + 2w = -4 + 4w

Solving for variable 'w'.

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

Add '-4w' to each side of the equation.
-6 + 2w + -4w = -4 + 4w + -4w

Combine like terms: 2w + -4w = -2w
-6 + -2w = -4 + 4w + -4w

Combine like terms: 4w + -4w = 0
-6 + -2w = -4 + 0
-6 + -2w = -4

Add '6' to each side of the equation.
-6 + 6 + -2w = -4 + 6

Combine like terms: -6 + 6 = 0
0 + -2w = -4 + 6
-2w = -4 + 6

Combine like terms: -4 + 6 = 2
-2w = 2

Divide each side by '-2'.
w = -1

Simplifying
w = -1
