Answer: Yes; you do combine "-w" and "4w" ; because they are both "like terms" ; that is, they are both terms with the SAME first degree single variable in the entire expression.
So, to combine them:
-w + 4w = -1w + 4w = 3w ;
and we can simplify the entire expression:
" -w + 4w + 12 " ;

to: " 3w + 12 " .

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer:
x = -4
Step-by-step explanation:
16 = 4*4 = 4²
64 = 4 * 4* 4 = 4³

As bases are same, compare exponents
6x + 48 = -6x
Subtract 48 from both sides
6x = -6x - 48
Add '6x' to both sides
6x + 6x = -48
12x = -48
Divide both sides by 12
x = -48/12
x = -4
