Answer:

Just divide -8 on both sides because you want to isolate the variable. Remember, whatever you do to one side, you must do to the other. So 72/-8 is -9. That means...

w= -9

Also remember, two negative numbers multiplied make a positive, and one negative and one positive number makes a negative number.
