Hi, again

-12 = w/-4?


-12 = w
.......------- -----------> cross multiply
.........-4


-12 (-4) = w ---------> - . - = +


48 = w or w = 48
----------------------------------¦

___________________________________________


Now, try "w = 48"


-12 = 48
.......------- ---------> + / - = -
.........-4

-12 = -12........it GoOd!
---------------¦


Bye-bye

purely fyi, there are no longer any exponents because of fact the different person suggested. The w is termed a variable. to respond to the question, whilst using the distributive belongings, you multiply each and every thing that's interior the parenthesis with the aid of what's on the exterior. 3(w-4) = -12 Multiply the three in to the two the w and the -4. 3w - 12 = -12 Then purely resolve for w. 3w - 12 = -12 3w = 0 3w/3 = 0/3 w = 0

Multiply both sides by -4

-12*-4=48
w=48

1.First to solve the equation, you must get the variable alone on one side of the equation.
2.Since multiplication is the opposite of division you multiply each side of the equation by -4 to get w all alone on it's side.
3.-12 times -4=48 because when you multiply 2 negative numbers the answer is always positive.
4. the solved equation is 48=w

-12 = w / -4

[multiply -4 to the other side to know the value of w.]

// negative multiplied by negative is always positive

w = 48

Simply multiply -12 * -4 to get w.

w=48

w = 48

-12 = w/-4

-12 x -4 = w/-4 x -4

w = 48

just cross multiply the equation.

-12 = w /-4

(-4)(-12) = w

48 = w..

-12=w/-4
-4 x -12
answer is 48= w

hope it helps

-12=w/-4 (x means times or multiply)
x-4 x-4
--------------
48= w

When you multiply two negatives it becomes a positive. Good luck.
