Answer 4

If you are to solve for w, your goal is to transfer the 9 from the left side to the right side.
Do you kow how to do that?

Answer 5

no

Answer 6

Whats \[\frac{ 9 }{ 9 } \]?

Answer 7

Answer 8

So if you divide the left side by 9 you'll have \[\frac{ 9 }{ 9 }w = 1 w = w\]
What operation do you have to perform on the right side to keep both sides balanced?

Answer 9

i don't know

Answer 10

The same we did on the left side! Which means we also have to devide the right side by 9. What does that become?

Answer 11

9

Answer 12

It's \[\frac{ 4x }{ 9 }\]
So this means we have \[9w = 4x \rightarrow \frac{ 9w }{ 9 } = \frac{ 4x }{ 9 } \rightarrow w = \frac{ 4x }{ 9 }\]Where the last equation is the solution to your problem.
