Question

1/3(2w-6)=-8
pls help

Answer 1

-9

Explanation:

This is the same thing as
`(1)/(3)(2w-6)=-8`

`(2w-6)/(3) =-8`

Multiply both sides by 3 to get rid of the denominator

`(3)(2w-6)/(3) =-8(3)`

`2w-6=-24`

Add 6 to both sides

`2w=-18`

Divide both sides by 2 to isolate
`w`

`w=-9`

Answer 2

w = - 9

Explanation:

`(1)/(3)` (2w - 6) = - 8 ( multiply both sides by 3 to clear the fraction )

2w - 6 = - 24 ( add 6 to both sides )

2w = - 18 ( divide both sides by 2 )

w = - 9
