Question

How do u do this problem: W/6+5/8=-1 3/8 I got this answer: -1 53/64

Answer 1

We have question
$\frac{W}{6}+ \frac{5}{8} =-1 \frac{3}{8}$    
$\frac{W}{6} + \frac{5}{8} =- \frac{11}{8}$   /*8      (multiply both sides by 8)
$\frac{W8}{6} + \frac{5}{1} =- \frac{11}{1}$  /*6      (multiply both sides by 6)
$8W+5*6=-11*6$      /-30 both sides
8W=-66-30
8W=-96
W=-12

Answer 2

Let's solve your equation step-by-step.w6+58=(−1)(3)8
Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.16w+58=−38
Step 2: Subtract 5/8 from both sides.16w+58−58=−38−5816w=−1
Step 3: Divide both sides by 1/6.16w16=−116w=−6
Answer:w=−6
