\begin{gathered} w=mg \\ To\text{ find m in terms of w and g simply means,} \\ \text{Make m the subject of the formula;} \\ w=mg \\ \text{Divide both sides by g, to make m isolated on one side of the formula} \\ (w)/(g)=(mg)/(g) \\ (w)/(g)=m \\ \text{The g cancels out each other on the right hand side} \\ m=(w)/(g) \end{gathered}
