Question

1. Solve for w in the equation W/5 = 25 A.W = 5 B.W = 125 C. W = 30 D.W = 20

Answer 1

Answer: w = 125

Explanation: Since w is being divided by 5, to solve for w,

multiply both sides of the equation by 5.

On the left side, the 5's will cancel

and on the right side, 25(5) is 125.

So w = 125.

Please do not do this problem in your head.

Show the work that it takes to get w by itself.
