Solve for \( w \) \[ \frac{w}{2}+6=-4 \] Simplify your answer as much as possible.

To solve for \( w \), we start with the equation: \[ \frac{w}{2} + 6 = -4 \] First, let's isolate the term with \( w \) by subtracting 6 from both sides: \[ \frac{w}{2} = -4 - 6 \] \[ \frac{w}{2} = -10 \] Next, to eliminate the fraction, multiply both sides by 2: \[ w = -10 \times 2 \] \[ w = -20 \] So the solution for \( w \) is: \[ \boxed{-20} \]
