Question

What is the answer to 6=-w/8

Answer 1

6 = $-\frac{w}{8}$

First, multiply both sides by 8. / Your problem should look like: $48 = -w$
Second, multiply both sides by -1. / Your problem should look like: $-48 = w$
Third, switch sides around. / Your problem should look like: $w = -48$

Answer: w = -48

Answer 2

The answer is w=-48

Solve:
6 = -w/8
Multiply by 8 on both sides to get the variable alone.
48 = -w
We found the answer for negative w, but we want the answer for w.
48/-1 = -48
-48 = w
