remember, you can do anyting to an equation as long as you do it to both sides

19=15w-4(3w-1)
distribute
-4(3w-1)=-4(3w)-4(-1)=-12w+4

19=15w-12w+4
19=3w+4
minus 4 both sides
15=3w
divide both sides by 3
5=w
w=5

19 = 15w-4(3w-1)    > subtract 15w from both sides
19-15w = -4(3w-1)   > work out the -4(3w-1)
19-15w = -12w+4    > subtract 19 from both sides
-15w = -12w-15       > add 12w to both sides
-3w = -15                > divide by -3
w = 5

hope this helped and I hope I get brainliest answer bud :)
