Studdy Solution

STEP 1

Assumptions
1. We are given the equation $28 = -\frac{4}{9} W$ .
2. We need to solve for $W$ .

STEP 2

To solve for $W$ , we need to isolate $W$ on one side of the equation. We can do this by multiplying both sides of the equation by the reciprocal of $-\frac{4}{9}$ .
$W = \left(-\frac{9}{4}\right) \times 28$

STEP 3

Now, we calculate the right side of the equation by multiplying $-\frac{9}{4}$ by 28.
$W = \left(-\frac{9}{4}\right) \times 28 = -9 \times 7$

STEP 4

Calculate the product of $-9$ and $7$ .
$W = -9 \times 7 = -63$
Therefore, the solution for $W$ is $-63$ .
