11/4 = 3/2w to change 2 3/4 into an improper fraction see this as 2 wholes plus 3/4. Another name for 2 wholes is 8/4 then add the 3/4. 8/4 + 3/4 is 11/4.
Do the same for 1 1/2 which is 1 + 1/2 change 1 into 2/2 and add it to 1/2 which would be 3/2.
Now solve for x
(2/3) (11/4) = (3/2) (2/3) w when I multiply 3/2 by its reciprocal of 2/3, I get the number 1 and 1 times w is just w.
22/12 =w. I just multiplies the tops with the bottoms. Now, divide the top and the bottom by 2 and you end up with 11/6. If I divide 11 by 6, it will go into 11 one time with 5 left over. The denominator remains 6.
First turn the statement into an equation:
3X=12+(X+26). You can combine the 12+26 and now you should have 3X=X+38. Subtract an X from both sides of the equation (2X=38) now finally divide by 2 to find X. X=19
