Given:


(w)/(6)-8=-11

Add 8 to both-side of the equation.


\begin{gathered} (w)/(6)=-11+8 \\ \\ (w)/(6)=-3 \end{gathered}

Multiply both-side of the equation by 6.


w=-18

The value of w = -18

To determine whether it is a solution, check by substituting and evaluating.


-(18)/(6)-8=-3-8=-11

Therefore, w= -18 is a solution.
