Based on how you wrote the equation, I interpret your equation to be \(\frac{7}{8}w=14\). Of course, we are solving for w by isolating it:
\(\frac{7}{8}w=14\) | Multiply by 8/7 on both sides of the equation. Doing this will eliminate the fraction. |
\(w=\frac{14}{1}*\frac{8}{7}\) | Notice that the 14 and 7 have a GCF of seven. Noticing this will ease the simplification process. |
\(w=\frac{14}{1}*\frac{8}{7}=\frac{2}{1}*\frac{8}{1}=16\) | |
Therefore, \(w=16\).
