Question

6 = −w/8 solve
what is w?

Answer 1

w = -48

Explanation:

6 = -w/8

6*8 = (-w/8) * 8 => 48 = -w

(-1) * 48 = (-1) * (-w) => -48 = w => w = -48

Answer 2

6 = −w/8

Multiply both sides of the equation by 8.

48 = −w

Swap the sides so that all the terms of the variables are on the left side.

−w = 48

Multiply both sides by −1.

w = −48
