Answer:
[tex]w=8.06[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
Given statement:
[tex]w[/tex] divided by -1.3 equals -6.2
The above statement can be written mathematically as:
[tex]\frac{w}{-1.3}=-6.2[/tex]
We need to solve for [tex]w[/tex].
Multiplying both sides by -1.3 to remove fraction and isolate [tex]w[/tex] on one side.
[tex]-1.3\times \frac{w}{-1.3}=(-6.2)\times (-1.3)[/tex]
∴ [tex]w=8.06[/tex] [Product of two negatives is a positive]
