Answer: I see my first answer was deleted. The answer is yes.
Step-by-step explanation: Let's substitute a number for w. First, let's try 4. 4+1 = 1+4 because of the commutative property of addition. 4 + 1 = 5 and 1 + 4 = 5. As far as I know, no matter what number you would use for w, w+1 will always be equivalent to 1+w.
