#w=-1/24#

Explanation:

Distribute the bracket.

#rArr21w+7/4-3w=1#

Collect like terms on left side of the equation.

#rArr18w+7/4=1#

#"subtract " 7/4" from both sides"#

#18wcancel(+7/4)cancel(-7/4)=1-7/4#

#rArr18w=-3/4#

To solve for w, divide both sides by 18

#(cancel(18) w)/cancel(18)=(-3/4)/18=-3/4xx1/18=-1/24#

#rArrw=-1/24" is the solution"#
