Convert all fractions to have the same denominator. 

To convert, we must find the least common multiple of the two denominators of the fractions:

Multiples of 4: {4,8,12,16,20}
Multiples of 5: {5,10,15,20}

The least common multiple of 4 and 5 is 20. 

Multiply the fractions by a number that will result in the denominator being 20:

\frac{3}{4} * \frac{5}{5} = \frac{15}{20}

\frac{2}{5} * \frac{4}{4} = \frac{8}{20}

The equation should now look like this:

\frac{15}{20} = w + \frac{8}{20}

Subtract both sides by 8/20 to get w by itself:

\frac{15}{20} - \frac{8}{20} = \frac{7}{20}

w = \frac{7}{20}

The value of w is 7/20.

First, you subtract 2/5 from 3/4 
To do this you must make them have a common denominator.
This is simple just multiply the top and bottom by the other factors denominator.

\frac{3*5}{4*5} = \frac{15}{20} 
\frac{2*4}{5*4} = \frac{8}{20}
Now just subtract 15-8 and get \frac{7}{20}
which cannot simplify so w=\frac{7}{20}

This is a right angle triangle.

So, by Pythagoras theorem,

√(32^2+20^2) = x

or √(1024+400) = x

or √1424 = x

or <em>37.74 = x</em>
