the letter "w" represents a variable, and the letter "h" also represents a variable. The goal is to solve for either "w" or "h" by using the given information and the rules of algebra.
To solve this equation, we can start by multiplying both sides of the equation by 3 to eliminate the fraction on the right side:
w-4/h-4=4/3
3(w-4/h-4)=3(4/3)
This simplifies to:
3w-12/3h-12=4
Next, we can simplify the expression on the left side of the equation by combining like terms:
3w-12/3h-12=4
3w-3h=-8
Finally, we can solve for either "w" or "h" by using the given information and the rules of algebra. For example, we can solve for "w" by adding 3h to both sides of the equation:
3w-3h=-8
3w=-8+3h
w=-2+h
This means that the value of "w" is equal to the value of "h" minus 2. Alternatively, we could solve for "h" by adding 3w to both sides of the equation:
3w-3h=-8
-3h=-8+3w
h=2-w/3
This means that the value of "h" is equal to 2 minus the value of "w" divided by 3.
