Question

Solve for w when the problem is g=1/6(w+40)
*Please show your work*

Answer 1

g=(1/6)(w+40) To get the 1/6 to the other side we multiply by 6 , divide by 1
6g=w+40 Subtract 40
6g-40=w Here is your answer :)

Answer 2

`w=6g-40`

Explanation:

We have been given an equation
`g=(1)/(6)(w+40)`. We are asked to solve our given equation for w.

First of all, we will multiply both sides of our equation by 6.

`6\cdot g=6\cdot(1)/(6)(w+40)`

`6g=w+40`

Switch sides:

`w+40=6g`

Subtract 40 from both sides:

`w+40-40=6g-40`

`w=6g-40`

Therefore, the value of w for our given equation would be
`6g-40`.
