W/6 + 5/8 = -1 3/8 solve the equation

w = -12

Step-by-step explanation:

w/6 + 5/8 = -1 3/8

Subtract 5/8 from each side

w/6 + 5/8-5/8 = -1 3/8 - 5/8

w/6 = -1 3/5 - 5/8

w/6 = -1 8/8

w/6 = -2

Multiply by 6 on each side

w/6 *6 = -2*6

w = -12

x= -3

step-by-step explanation:

step 1: simplify brackets

4 - x - 1 = 6

step 2: simpilfy

3 - x = 6

step 3: subtract 3 from both sides

-x = 6 - 3

step 4: simpilfy 6 - 3

-x = 3

step 5: multiply both sides by -1

x = -3
