Explanation

The correct answer is -9 . Since w is in the denominator of a fraction in the given equation, w can't be equal to 0 . Since w isn't equal to 0 , multiplying both sides of the given equation by w yields an equivalent equation, -54 = 6 w . Dividing both sides of this equation by 6 yields -9 = w . Therefore, -9 is the solution to the given equation.
