You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Assume the problem is:
W%2F3 + 6 = 2
remember whatever you do to one side, do also to the other side
Subtract 6 from both sides
W%2F3 + 6 - 6 = 2 - 6
which is
W%2F3 = -4
Multiply both sides by 3
3*W%2F3 = 3 * -4
cancels the denominator and you have
W = -12
:
Now check the solution in the original equation
%28-12%29%2F3 + 6 = 2
-4 + 6 = 2,
2 = 2, confirms our solution
