Question

How do you solve `9.6=6w`?

Answer 1

See a solution process below:

Explanation:

Divide each side of the equation by `color(red)(6)` to solve for `w` while keeping the equation balanced:

`9.6/color(red)(6) = (6w)/color(red)(6)`

`1.6 = (color(red)(cancel(color(black)(6)))w)/cancel(color(red)(6))`

`1.6 = w`

`w = 1.6`
