Step 1
Consider the linear equation.
0.4w=12
Express the decimal linear equation as an equivalent linear equation without decimals.
Multiply both sides of the equation by 10.
0.4w(10)=12(10)
4w=120
Divide both sides of the equation by 4.
4w4=1204
w=30
Check the solution by substituting w=30 in the original equation.
0.4(30)=?12
12=12 True
Since w=30 satisfies the original equation, the solution, the solution is 30.
Therefore, the solution set is {30}
