Question

Solve for each equation 3 1/4 = 1/2 + w

Answer 1

Answer:

w = - $\frac{58}{31}$

Step-by-step explanation:

3 1/4 = 1/2 + w

Cross Multiply

31(2 + w) = 4

Divide both sides by 31

$\frac{31(2 + w)}{31}$ = $\frac{4}{31}$ (simplify) -> 2 + w = $\frac{4}{31}$

Subtract 2 from both sides

2 + w - 2 + $\frac{4}{31}$ - 2 (simplify) -> - $\frac{58}{31}$

w = - $\frac{58}{31}$
