Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Define equation

12w + 10 = 2(3w + 35)

Step 2: Solve for w

Distribute 2:                              12w + 10 = 6w + 70Subtract 6w on both sides:      6w + 10 = 70Subtract 10 on both sides:       6w = 60Divide 6 on both sides:            w = 10

Step 3: Check

Plug in w to verify it's a solution.

Substitute:                    12(10) + 10 = 2(3(10) + 35)Multiply:                        120 + 10 = 2(30 + 35)Add:                              130 = 2(65)Multiply:                        130 = 130

Here we see that 130 does indeed equal 130.

∴ w = 10 is a solution of the equation.
