2=4w
Divide each side by 4
1/2=w
Check your answer:
3 (1/2) + 2 = 7 (1/2)
(3/2) + (4/2) = (7/2)
(7/2) = (7/2)
Hope this helps.
To find X, we can divide 5 into 40.
40 divided by 5 is 8.
Now we can do 5 x 8. That is 40.
X=40
OR we can do it another way.
40 divided by 5 is 8.
Cross out 5 divided by 5.
Now we have 8. Still.
X is 8
