Question

Solve for wSimplify your answer as much as possible.​

Answer 1

                5

Simplify   —

                 4

Equation at the end of step  2  :

            5        6

 (w -    —   ) -  —  = 0  

           4          7

Step  3  :

Rewriting the whole as an Equivalent Fraction :

3.1   Subtracting a fraction from a whole

Rewrite the whole as a fraction using  4  as the denominator :

            w           w • 4

    w =  —  =  —————

             1              4  

Equivalent fraction : The fraction thus generated looks different but has the same value as the whole

Common denominator : The equivalent fraction and the other fraction involved in the calculation share the same denominator

Adding fractions that have a common denominator :

Adding up the two equivalent fractions

Add the two equivalent fractions which now have a common denominator

Combine the numerators together, put the sum or difference over the common denominator then reduce to lowest terms if possible:

w • 4 - (5)     (4w - 5 )

———————————  =  ——————

     4                  4    

Equation at the end of step  3  :

(4w - 5)    6

 ———————— -  —  = 0  

    4           7
