2/3(6w + 18) = 18
(3)2/3(6w + 18 = (3)18
2(6w + 18) = 54
12w + 36 = 54
12w + 36 - 36 = 54 - 36
12w = 18
12w/12 = 18/12
w = 18/12
w = 3/2
w = 1 1/2
w = 1.5
The answer is w = 3/2 or w = 1.5

2/3(6w+18)=18
cross multiplying => 2(6w+18)=18 x 3
12w + 36=54
12w=54-36
12w=18
w=18/12 =3/2

2/3(6w+18)=18
Distribute the 2/3
4w+12=18
Subtract 12
4w=6
Divide by 4
w=6/4
Simplify
w=3/2

2/3(6w+18)=18
12w+36/3=18
4w+12=18
4w=18-12
4w=6
w=1 1/2

2/3 * (6w+18)=18
6w+18=27
6w=9
w=9/6
w=3/2

2(6w+18)=54
divide both sides by 2
6w+18= 27
6w= 9
w= 1.5
