Question

What is the solution of $5.2w=-2.08$?

A. -2.5 B.-0.4 C.0.4 D.2.5

Short answer

Solution of given equation is $w=-0.4$.

Option B is correct.

Step-by-step solution

Step-1- Solving for value of g

$5.2w=-2.08$

Dividing with $5.2$on both sides, we get,

$\frac{5.2w}{5.2}=\frac{-2.08}{5.2}$

Step-2-Simplifying above equation

$\begin{array}{c}\frac{5.2w}{5.2}=\frac{-2.08}{5.2}\\ w=\frac{-2.08}{5.2}\\ w=-0.4\end{array}$

Step-3- Conclusion

Therefore, the solution of given equation is $w=-0.4$.

Option B is correct.
