Exercise 4 Page 204

Use the Multiplication Property of Equality to eliminate the division.

w = 4

Practice makes perfect
To solve the equation, we have to isolate w on one side. Using the Multiplication Property of Equality, we will multiply both sides of the equation by 6. This will eliminate the denominator of the fraction and isolate w.
w/6 = 6/9
6* w/6 = 6* 6/9
w =6* 6/9
w = 36/9
w = 4
