Question

What is the value of w?

w + 3
4
=
w - 2
2
A) 7
B) 9
C) 11
Eliminate
D) 13

Answer 1

if you have a no solution choice that will be your answer because w+34=w-22
you would subtract w from both sides to get 34=-22 and that's not true therefore it would be a no solution equation.

Answer 2

we have

`((w+3))/(4) =((w-2))/(2)`

Solve for w

`((w+3))/(4) =((w-2))/(2)\\2(w+3)=4(w-2) \\2w+6=4w-8 \\4w-2w=6+8 \\2w=14 \\w=14/2 \\w=7`

therefore

the answer is the option A

`w=7`
