Solve -3/5(w-2)=-2

Evaluate

- \frac{3}{5} (w - 2) = - 2

Simplify

More Steps

- \frac{3}{5} w + \frac{6}{5} = - 2

Move the constant to the right-hand side and change its sign

- \frac{3}{5} w = - 2 - \frac{6}{5}

Subtract the numbers

More Steps

- \frac{3}{5} w = - \frac{16}{5}

Change the signs on both sides of the equation

\frac{3}{5} w = \frac{16}{5}

Multiply by the reciprocal

\frac{3}{5} w \times \frac{5}{3} = \frac{16}{5} \times \frac{5}{3}

Multiply

w = \frac{16}{5} \times \frac{5}{3}

Solution

More Steps

w = \frac{16}{3}

Alternative Form

w = 5. \dot{3}
