Answer:
w = 2
Step-by-step explanation:
Distribute the expression and compare like terms with the simplified version.
Given
wx(3y² + 6y - 2) ← distribute parenthesis
= 3wxy² + 6wxy - 2wx
Compare coefficients of like terms with
6xy² + 12xy - 4x
Compare xy² term, then
3w = 6 ( divide both sides by 3 )
w = 2
Compare xy term, then
6w = 12 ( divide both sides by 6 )
w = 2
Compare x term, then
- 2w = - 4 ( divide both sides by - 2 )
w = 2
Hence the required value of w is 2
