w = {0}
Subproblem 2
Set the factor '(6 + w)' equal to zero and attempt to solve:

Simplifying
6 + w = 0

Solving
6 + w = 0

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

Add '-6' to each side of the equation.
6 + -6 + w = 0 + -6

Combine like terms: 6 + -6 = 0
0 + w = 0 + -6
w = 0 + -6

Combine like terms: 0 + -6 = -6
w = -6

Simplifying
w = -6
Subproblem 3
Set the factor '(-6 + w)' equal to zero and attempt to solve:

Simplifying
-6 + w = 0

Solving
-6 + w = 0

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

Add '6' to each side of the equation.
-6 + 6 + w = 0 + 6

Combine like terms: -6 + 6 = 0
0 + w = 0 + 6
w = 0 + 6

Combine like terms: 0 + 6 = 6
w = 6

Simplifying
w = 6
Solution
w = {0, -6, 6}
