Simplifying
1 + w = 0

Solving
1 + w = 0

Move all terms containing w to the left, all other terms to the right.

Add '-1' to each side of the equation.
1 + -1 + w = 0 + -1

Combine like terms: 1 + -1 = 0
0 + w = 0 + -1
w = 0 + -1

Combine like terms: 0 + -1 = -1
w = -1

Simplifying
w = -1
Solution
w = {-3, -1}
