location of a point

Question

Suppose that w and x are points on the number line.

If wx=14 and x lies at 8 , where could w be located?

If there is more than one location, separate them with commas.

Answer 1

Since the product is positive both points are on the positive side of the number line.

wx=14 and x is at 8.

w8=14

w=14/8

w=7/4 or it lies at 13/4 or 1.75
