Q. Solve for w and simplify your answer.−34w=−8Answer:
Identify equation: Identify the equation to solve.We are given the equation −34w=−8, and we need to solve for w.
Isolate variable: Isolate the variable w. To isolate w, we need to get rid of the fraction by multiplying both sides of the equation by the reciprocal of −34, which is −43.
Multiply by reciprocal: Multiply both sides of the equation by −43.(−43)×(−(34)w)=−43×−8
Simplify equation: Simplify both sides of the equation.The left side simplifies to w because (−43)×(−(34))=1.The right side simplifies to 6 because −43×−8=6.So, w=6.
