Question

w/-6=20 read as w divided by -6 equals 20. what would my answer be?

Answer 1

From the expression: w/-6 = 20, we can solve for w, like this:

$\begin{gathered} \frac{w}{-6}=20 \\ \frac{w}{-6}\times-6=20\times-6 \\ w\times\frac{-6}{-6}=-120 \\ w\times1=-120 \\ w=-120 \end{gathered}$

As proved, w equals -120
