question
find the value of ( w ) in the diagram below.
(diagram: a bar divided into five parts: four parts labeled ( w ) and one part labeled 18, with the total length of the bar being 48)
answer attempt 1 out of 2

Explanation:

Step1: Set up the equation

$4w + 18 = 48$

Step2: Isolate the term with $w$

$4w = 48 - 18$
$4w = 30$

Step3: Solve for $w$

$w = \frac{30}{4} = 7.5$

Answer:

$7.5$
