Solve for w a=5w

$a = 5 w$

Step 1

Rewrite the equation as $5 w = a$ .

$5 w = a$

Step 2

Divide each term in $5 w = a$ by $5$ and simplify.

Divide each term in $5 w = a$ by $5$ .

$\frac{5 w}{5} = \frac{a}{5}$

Simplify the left side.

Cancel the common factor of $5$ .

Cancel the common factor.

$\frac{5 w}{5} = \frac{a}{5}$

Divide $w$ by $1$ .

$w = \frac{a}{5}$
