Question

How do I solve for w​

Answer 1

Answer:

w ≥ 141/2

Step-by-step explanation:

12 − 4/6 w ≤ 2/8 − 3/6 w

First, combine like terms.  Add 4/6 w to both sides, and subtract 2/8 from both sides.

12 − 2/8 ≤ 4/6 w − 3/6 w

12 − 2/8 ≤ 1/6 w

Reduce 2/8 to 1/4:

12 − 1/4 ≤ 1/6 w

To get rid of the fractions, multiply both sides by 12 (the LCM of 4 and 6):

12 (12 − 1/4) ≤ 12 (1/6 w)

144 − 3 ≤ 2w

141 ≤ 2w

Divide by 2:

141/2 ≤ w

If you'd like, flip the equation:

w ≥ 141/2

Answer 2

Divided by two I think
