w=w^2

Solution for w=w^2 equation:

Simplifying
w = w2

Solving
w = w2

Solving for variable 'w'.

Combine like terms: w2 + -1w2 = 0
w + -1w2 = 0

Factor out the Greatest Common Factor (GCF), 'w'.
w(1 + -1w) = 0

Subproblem 1
Set the factor 'w' equal to zero and attempt to solve:

Simplifying
w = 0

Solving
w = 0

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

Simplifying
w = 0
Subproblem 2
Set the factor '(1 + -1w)' equal to zero and attempt to solve:

Simplifying
1 + -1w = 0

Solving
1 + -1w = 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 + -1w = 0 + -1

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

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

Divide each side by '-1'.
w = 1

Simplifying
w = 1
Solution
w = {0, 1}
