Question 223186: The question was: 1/3w + 6 = -2
What I did was: subtracted 6 from both sides and got a negative 8 (-8).
Then, I did the inverse of 1/3 (divided one over three by one over three, and it cancels itself out?), then one over thee divided by negative 8. So I was left with...
1/3 * -1/8 = -1/24
IS THIS CORRECT? If not, please help me with where I made my mistake?? Thanks so much!!! (:

1/3w + 6 = -2
w/3=-2-6
w/3=-8
w=-8*3
w=-24 ans.
Proof:
1/3*-24+6=-2
-24/3+6=-2
-8+6=-2
-2=-2

when you divide fractions, invert and multiply the second fraction
-8/1*3/1=-24/1=-24
your equation should look like
w=(-8/1)/(1/3)
w=-8/1*3/1=-24/1=-24
Keep the order straight
Answer by visionamoah(2) (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website!
1/3w + 6 = -2
1/3w = -2 -6
1/3w = -8
1 = -8 * 3w
1 = -24w
1/-24 = -24w/-24
-1/24 = w
w = -1/24

The question was: 1/3w + 6 = -2
--------
That's not a question, it's an equation.
If you want to solve for w:
-----
Is it 1/(3w) ?
or (1/3)w ?
