w = 18

#w + 6 = 2(w-6)#

On the right side of the equation, begin with distributing the 2 into w and -6.

#w + 6 = 2w - 12#

Next, add the 12 from the right side to the 6 on the left side of the equation.

#w + 18 = 2w#

Finally, subtract the w from the left side to the right.

#18 = w#

Or,

#w = 18#
