$w = - 102.4$ $w = -102.4$

STEP ONE: Subtract $8.3$ $8.3$ from each side, you want to keep each variable to each side!

$- 4.5 = \frac{w}{8} + 8.3$ $-4.5 = w/8 + 8.3$

$- 12.8 = \frac{w}{8}$ $-12.8 = w/8$

STEP TWO: Multiply each side by $8$ $8$ so $w$ $w$ can finally be on its own side (by itself!)

$- 12.8 = \frac{w}{8}$ $-12.8 = w/8$

$- 102.4 = w$ $-102.4 = w$

How do you solve −4.5=w8+8.3-4.5= \frac { w } { 8} + 8.3?
