Please show work because I have multiple questions like this and it will help me do the others. Thanks!
Solve -12=w/-4.
a. -48
b. -3
c. 3
d. 48
-12 = w/-4
Multiply both sides by -4, we get:
(-4 X -12)= -4w/-4
48 = w
Why isn't it -48?
To solve the equation -12 = w/-4, we need to isolate the variable w.
Step 1: Multiply both sides of the equation by -4 to eliminate the fraction:
(-4)(-12) = (-4)(w/-4)
This simplifies to:
48 = w
Therefore, the value of w is 48.
So, the correct answer is d. 48.
