To solve the equation \(3(w + 1) = 6\), follow these steps:
-
Distribute the 3 on the left side: \[ 3w + 3 = 6 \]
-
Subtract 3 from both sides to isolate the term with \(w\): \[ 3w = 6 - 3 \] \[ 3w = 3 \]
-
Divide both sides by 3 to solve for \(w\): \[ w = \frac{3}{3} \] \[ w = 1 \]
Thus, the solution is \(w = 1\).
