w = - 84 : 14
w = - 6  (  answer )
-----------------------------------
10 * (- 6) + 4 * (- 6) = - 84
            - 60 + (- 24) = - 84
                         - 84 = - 84

Answer 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Combine 10w and 4w, as they're the only like terms;

$14w=-84$

Divide each side by 14 to evaluate what w equals;

$w=-6$

Check;

$10(-6)+4(-6)=-84$

$-60+-24=-84 \: \checkmark$
