You can put this solution on YOUR website!
To solve this, you want to isolate your variable. To do so, you must divide both sides by -6/5.\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"42=-6%2F5%28w%29\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"42%2F%28-6%2F5%29=%28-6%2F5%29%28w%29%2F%28-6%2F5%29\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " When you have division of fractions, you can multiply by the reciprocal...\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"42%2A%28-5%2F6%29=%28-6%2F5%29%28w%29%2A%28-5%2F6%29\"remember multiply fractions across, and your negative will cancel out so you get \"30%2F30\" here, which is 1
\n" ); document.write( "\"-210%2F6=1w\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"w=-35\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "check it
\n" ); document.write( "\"-35%2A%28-6%2F5%29=42\"
\n" ); document.write( "
