Solve for w: \$ w/4 \$ = 14

Step 1

Given equation: \$ w/4 \$ = 14

Multiply 4 by both sides of the equation and simplify.

⇒ \$ ( w/4 ) \times 4 \$ = \$ 14 \times 4 \$

⇒ w = 56

So, the value of w is 56.

Explanation:

Here, we are multiplicating 4 from both sides of the equation to keep it balanced and simplified. Therefore, the solution to the equation \$ w/4 \$ = 14 is w = 56.
