Question

Solve for w in the equation w⁄5 = 25

A. w = 20
B. w = 5
C. w = 30
D. w = 125

Answer 1

we are given

$\frac{w}{5} =25$

Since, we have to solve for w

so, we will isolate w on anyone side

Multiply both sides by 5

$5*\frac{w}{5} =5*25$

$w =5*25$

$w =125$

so,

option-D..........Answer

Answer 2

Answer

w = 125

Explanation

In algebra, any operation carried out on the left hand side must be carried on the right hand.

By so doing we are trying to leave the unknown value on one side.

 

∴ w/5 = 25

Multiply both sides by 5

w/5 × 5 = 25 × 5

w = 125
