Question

Solve the equation for w. A=1/6(w+40)

Answer 1

1. Multiply each side by 6.
6A = w+40

2. Subtract 40 from each side
6A - 40 = w

Answer 2

$a = \frac{1}{6} (w+40) \\ \\ a = \frac{w+40}{6} \\ \\ a \times 6 = w + 40 \\ \\ 6a = w + 40 \\ \\ 6a - 40 = w \\ \\ w = 6a - 40 \\ \\ Answer: \fbox {w = 6a - 40}$
