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,

$w = 18$

How do you solve w+ 6= 2( w - 6)w+ 6= 2( w - 6)?
