-4w + 8.6 = 2.2

1 answer

To solve for w in the equation -4w + 8.6 = 2.2, we need to isolate w on one side of the equation.

First, let's subtract 8.6 from both sides of the equation:

-4w + 8.6 - 8.6 = 2.2 - 8.6
-4w = -6.4

Next, divide both sides of the equation by -4 to solve for w:

-4w/-4 = -6.4/-4
w = 1.6

Therefore, the solution to the equation -4w + 8.6 = 2.2 is w = 1.6.
