Question

What is6w-y=2z, for w

Answer 1

6w - y = 2z

To solve it for w, let w in the left side and the other terms on the right side

Add y to both sides to move y from the left side to the right side

6w - y + y = 2z + y

6w = 2z + y

Now make the coefficient of w equal 1 by divide both sides by 6

`(6w)/(6)=(2z)/(6)+(y)/(6)`

Simplify it

`w=(1)/(3)z+(1)/(6)y`
