-6/7w=1/8

Real easy:
-6/7w = 1/8
Multiply both sides by -1, which gives you:
6/7w = -1/8
Now, multiply both sides by the reciprocal of w, (7/6):
w = 7/6 * -1/8
w = -7/48
--------------------
Check your answer, by replacing "w" with (-7/48)
(-6/7) * (-7/48) = 1/8
The sevens and negatives cancel, leaving:
6/48 = 1/8
Reduce 6/48 to it's lowest form:
1/8 = 1/8 <== checks!
Hope this helps.
