-1w = 14

Divide each side by '-1'.
w = -14

Simplifying
w = -14
Subproblem 2
Set the factor '(13 + -1w)' equal to zero and attempt to solve:

Simplifying
13 + -1w = 0

Solving
13 + -1w = 0

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

Add '-13' to each side of the equation.
13 + -13 + -1w = 0 + -13

Combine like terms: 13 + -13 = 0
0 + -1w = 0 + -13
-1w = 0 + -13

Combine like terms: 0 + -13 = -13
-1w = -13

Divide each side by '-1'.
w = 13

Simplifying
w = 13
Solution
w = {-14, 13}
