Question

Solve the equation for w
w - 5/3 = w/6

Answer 1

can someone please help me with this one

Answer 2

Try to multiply the whole equation by 6.
That means both terms on the left side.

Now you have 6W-30/3=W
Now rearrange so all the w's are on one side

Answer 3

w-5/3=w/6
+5/3 -w/6 both sides
------------
w-w/6=5/3
w(1-(1/6))=5/3
divide both sides by ()
w=(5/3)/(1-(1/6))

Answer 4

w(1-1/6) = 5/3
=>5w=5x6/3
=> w = 2
