See a solution process below:

Explanation:

Step 1) Subtract #color(red)(9.1)# from each side of the equation to isolate the #w# term while keeping the equation balanced:

#-color(red)(9.1) + 9.1 + w/6 = -color(red)(9.1) - 10.1#

#0 + w/6 = -19.2#

#w/6 = -19.2#

Step 2) Multiply each side of the equation by #color(red)(6)# to solve for #w# while keeping the equation balanced:

#color(red)(6) xx w/6 = color(red)(6) xx -19.2#

#cancel(color(red)(6)) xx w/color(red)(cancel(color(black)(6))) = -115.2#

#w = -115.2#

#w=-115.2#

Explanation:

#frac w 6 = -10.1-9.1#

#w=-19.2*6#

#w=-115.2#
