Solve $4 A (L^{3/4}) - wL (((24 - L) w)^{-3/4}) = -(((24 - L) w)^{1/4})$ for L? Using Mathematica

I'm trying to solve

$$4 A (L^{3/4}) - wL (((24 - L) w)^{-3/4}) = -(((24 - L) w)^{1/4})$$

for $L$ using Mathematica, and it spits the following out:

Solve[4 A (L^(3/4)) - 
    wL (((24 - L) w)^(-3/4)) = -(((24 - L) w)^(1/4)), L]
Set::write: Tag Plus in 4 A L^(3/4)-wL/((24-L) w)^(3/4) is Protected. >>
Solve::naqs: ((24-L) w)^(1/4) is not a quantified system of equations and inequalities. >>

What does this mean and how do I solve it?

It means that you cannot assign a value to an expression. Your error is in using assignment = instead of a comparison ==.
