v = - w 150 x The given equation relates the distinct positive numbers v , w , and x

Question

v = - w 150 x The given equation relates the distinct positive numbers v , w , and x . Which equation correctly expresses w in terms of v and x ?

Accepted Answer

Choice A is correct. It&rsquo;s given that x is positive. Therefore, multiplying each side of the given equation by - 150 x yields - 150 x v = w , which is equivalent to w = - 150 v x . Thus, the equation w = - 150 v x correctly expresses w in terms of v and x . Choice B is incorrect. This equation is equivalent to v = - w x 150 . Choice C is incorrect. This equation is equivalent to v = - x 150 w . Choice D is incorrect. This equation is equivalent to v = w - 150 x .
