w = 6

\newline

Write your answer in simplest form.

\newline

\frac{w - 9}{w - 4} =

Identify Expression: Identify the expression after substituting $w = 6$ Substitute $6$ for $w$ in $\frac{w - 9}{w - 4}$ . $\frac{6 - 9}{6 - 4}$
Substitute and Simplify: Evaluate $6 - 9$ $\newline$ $6 - 9 = -3$ $\newline$ Numerator: $-3$
Evaluate Numerator: Evaluate $6 - 4$ $\newline$ $6 - 4 = 2$ $\newline$ Denominator: $2$
Evaluate Denominator: $-\frac{3}{2}$ $\newline$ The fraction is already in its simplest form. $\newline$ Final expression: $-\frac{3}{2}$
