Answer:


\boxed {x = -(8)/(9)}

Explanation:

Solve for the value of
w:


3(3w - 4) = -20

-Use Distributive Property:


3(3w - 4) = -20


9w - 12= -20

-Add both sides by
12:


9w - 12 + 12 = -20 + 12


9w = -8

-Divide both sides by
9:


(9w)/(9) = (-8)/(9)


\boxed {x = -(8)/(9)}

Therefore, the value of
w is
-(8)/(9).
