Question

-5 +w/3 = -1

Answer 1

12
-12
2
-2

Answer 2

w/3 = -1 + 5

Answer 3

cross multiply to get : -5+w = 3(-1)
-5+w = -3
bringing the 5 across we get:
w = -3 +5
w = 2

Answer 4

huh........
question is \[-5 + \frac{ w }{ 3 } = -1\]
so
\[\frac{ w }{ 3 } = -1 + 5\]
\[\frac{ w }{ 3 } = 4\]
\[w = 4 \times 3\]

Answer 5

w = 12
got it??

Answer 6

@rishavraj , the confusion lay in where the division sign was.. i.e. (-5+w)/3 or -5 + (w/3)
