Problem 4:

\rm \frac8{11}(n-10)=64

multiply by 11,

8(n-10) = 64*11

divide by 8,

n-10 = 8*11

Add 10,

n = 88 + 10 = 98
--------------------------------------------------------

Problem 5:
-0.6(r+0.2)=1.8

Divide by -0.6,

r+0.2 = -3

subtract 0.2,

r = -3 - 0.2 = -3.2
--------------------------------------------------------

Problem 6:

\rm \left(w-\frac49\right)\left(-\frac23\right)=-\frac45

I hope this method isn't too confusing for you,
but I would multiply through by the LCM of the denominators to get rid of the fractions. LCM of 3, 9 and 5 is 45.

Multiply both sides by 45,

(45w - 20)(-30) = -36

Divide -30,

45w - 20 = 36/30

Add 20,

45w = 36/30 + 20

Divide 45 as a final step,

w = 21.2/45
