Question

help! what is -5/8w=-9

Answer 1

5/72

Answer 2

w =5/72

Answer 3

can you explain?

Answer 4

-5/8w=-9,
now bring -9 on the other side.when this happens, -9 goes in the denominator.so we get
-5/(-9*8w)=1
now we need to isolate w, so take it on the other sie, when it goes on the other side, it is multiplied,
so we get -5/(-9*8)=w
w=-5/-72 = 5/72

Answer 5

\[\text{Solve}\left[-\frac{5}{8}w\text{ = }-9,w\right]=\frac{72}{5}\]

Answer 6

wait....is it 72/5 or 5/72???

Answer 7

\[-\frac{5}{8}*\frac{72}{5}=-\frac{72}{8}=-9 \]
