When the product of factors equals 0,at least one factor is 0
4w−9=05w+7=0
Solve the equation for w
More Steps

Evaluate
4w−9=0
Move the constant to the right-hand side and change its sign
4w=0+9
Removing 0 doesn't change the value,so remove it from the expression
4w=9
Divide both sides
44w=49
Divide the numbers
w=49
w=495w+7=0

Evaluate
5w+7=0
Move the constant to the right-hand side and change its sign
5w=0−7
Removing 0 doesn't change the value,so remove it from the expression
5w=−7
Divide both sides
55w=5−7
Divide the numbers
w=5−7
