    3W - 2W + 4 = 6  (This is really simple.  Are you SURE you can't figure it out yourself?)


    3W - 2W = 1W (or just "W")


    W + 4 = 6


    W + 4 - 4 = 6 - 4


    W = 2


    3(2) - 2(2) + 4 = 6

    6 - 4 + 4 = 6  


    6 = 6

    I find this very complex - but can see now thanks.

    thanks, dopey. The trick is to get the "UNKNOWN" on one side of the equals sign all by itself. At the "W + 4 = 6" spot, I had to subtract 4 to get the W alone. If I subtract 4 from one side, I must also subtract it from the other side to keep the balance.
    Any time I can help with the more basic stuff, I do....get me past chapter 1 and it's iffy at best. :D
