Question 472663: 2/6w+5
Find all numbers for which the rational expression is undefined?

You can put this solution on YOUR website!
When the denominator is 0, that is "undefined",
because you cannot divide by 0.

To determine what numbers make this undefined, set the denominator equal to 0,
and solve for the variable.

-------
6w + 5

6w + 5 = 0 {set the denominator equal to 0}
6w = -5 {subtracted 5 from both sides}
w = -5/6

w = -5/6 would make the rational expression undefined.
