Question

W/6 + 7.2 = -2.4

Solve for W

Answer 1

W/6 + 7.2 = -2.4

W/6 = -2.4 - 7.2

W/6 = -9.6

W = -9.6 times 6

W = -57.6

Answer 2

W = -57.6 PS: I'm in 8th grade.

Explanation:

W/6 + 7.2 = -2.4 Step 1: Use Inverse operations (subtract 7.2 on both sides)

W/6 = -2.4 - 7.2 Step 2: Combine Like terms (-2.4 - 7.2)

W/6 = -9.6 Step 3: Use Inverse Operations (multiply by 6 on both sides)

W = -9.6 x 6 Step 4: Simplify

W = -57.6
