Reformatting the input :

Changes made to your input should not affect the solution:

(1): "1.37" was replaced by "(137/100)".

Step by step solution :

Step  1  :

            137
 Simplify   ———
            100

Equation at the end of step  1  :

  137
  ——— • w  = 0 
  100

Step  2  :

Equation at the end of step  2  :

  137w
  ————  = 0 
  100 

Step  3  :

When a fraction equals zero :

 3.1    When a fraction equals zero ...

Where a fraction equals zero, its numerator, the part which is above the fraction line, must equal zero.

Now,to get rid of the denominator, Tiger multiplys both sides of the equation by the denominator.

Here's how:

  137w
  ———— • 100 = 0 • 100
  100 

Now, on the left hand side, the  100  cancels out the denominator, while, on the right hand side, zero times anything is still zero.

The equation now takes the shape :
   137w  = 0

Solving a Single Variable Equation :

 3.2      Solve  :    137w = 0 

 Divide both sides of the equation by 137:
                     w = 0
