Question

4.5w=5.1w-30, how do I solve it

Answer 1

first you have to get the same variables on one side so you’d subtract 5.1w from both sides, making the equation -0.6w = -30

then you want to single out the variable, diving -0.6 on both sides making the new equation and the answer w = 50

hope this helps!

Answer 2

Hey there!

Let's subtract by $5.1w$ on EACH of your sides that we're working with

LIke: $4,5w - 5.1w \\ = 5.1w - 30 - 5.1w$ 

We get: $-0.6w = -30$

Now, let's divide by $-0.6$ on EACH of your sides

LIke: $\frac{-0.6w}{-0.6} \\ \\ = \frac{-30}{-0.6}$

$Answer: w = 50$

Good luck on your assignment and enjoy your day!
