Given formula is 3 *  ( times ) w / 2 + 6 = w / 5  + 0.1

3 *  w / 2 + 6 = w / 5  + 0.1

( 3 w ) / 2 + 6 = w / 5  + 0.1

( 3 w ) / 2 - w / 5  = 0.1 - 6

[ ( 3 w  * 5) - 2 w ] / 10= 1 /10  - 6

[ (15 w  - 2 w ) / 10] = ( 1 -  60 ) / 10

(13 w  ) / 10] = (- 59 ) / 10

w = (- 59 ) / 10 * 10 / 13

w = - 59 / 13 .

Therefore w = - 59 / 13 .
