Question

What is the answer? -5/6 = 2/3w

Answer 1

w = -
`(5)/(4\\)`

Explanation:

Given

-
`(5)/(6)` =
`(2)/(3)` w

Multiply by the lowest common multiple of 6 and 3, that is 6

- 5 = 4w ( divide both sides by 4 )

w = -
`(5)/(4\\)`

Answer 2

w = -5/4 or w = -1.25 or w = -1 1/4

Explanation:

Solve for w by simplifying both sides of the equation, then isolating the variable.
