Question

what is6w-y=2z, for w

Answer 1

6w - y = 2z

To solve it for w, let w in the left side and the other terms on the right side

Add y to both sides to move y from the left side to the right side

6w - y + y = 2z + y

6w = 2z + y

Now make the coefficient of w equal 1 by divide both sides by 6

$\frac{6w}{6}=\frac{2z}{6}+\frac{y}{6}$

Simplify it

$w=\frac{1}{3}z+\frac{1}{6}y$
