2/5=w-3/2
remember that to solve we want to isolate 1 w one side by itself
also remember that we can do anything to an equation as long as we do it to both sides (except divide by zero)

2/5=w-3/2
so we add 3/2 to both sides to get rid of the 3/2
2/5+3/2=w+3/2-3/2
2/5+3/2=w+0
2/5+3/2=w

make the bottom numbers the same
the number is 10
2/5 times 2/2=4/10
3/2 times 5/5=15/10

4/10+15/10=w
4/10+15/10=(4+15)/10=(19)/10
w=19/10
so the steps are:
1. add 3/2 to both sides
2. make the denomenators of 2/5 and 3/2 the same so we can add them

So,

I'm assuming you want me to evaluate the equation when w = 19/10.

\frac{2}{5} =w- \frac{3}{2}

w= \frac{19}{10}

Substitute.
\frac{2}{5} = \frac{19}{10} - \frac{3}{2}

Change all fractions to common denominators by finding the LCM.
LCM of 2, 5, 10 = 10

Multiply each fraction by the appropriate form of 1.
\frac{4}{10} = \frac{19}{10} - \frac{15}{10}

Subtract.
\frac{4}{10} = \frac{4}{10}

This is a true statement.

You could also say these things.

\frac{2}{5} = \frac{2}{5}

0.4 = 0.4

40% = 40%

What must you assume when you use a rate for a prediction? (Please Help!! I'm in 6th grade and this is math.)
murzikaleks [220]

Answer:

For anything to do with force you have to assume an even amount of force is spread out evenly. But for things like growing rate you have all those variables so you can't assume a constant growing rate like acceleration.

Nine less than three times a number is greater than forty
pentagon [3]
Start with an equation.
Nine less... so -9
3 times a number = 3x
Greater than 40 is >40

So put together is 3x-9>40
When solving I imaging the greater than sign as an equal sign. Less confusing.
3x-9=40
3x=49
x>49/3
