Question

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

Answer 1

w = -
`(58)/(31)`

Explanation:

3 1/4 = 1/2 + w

Cross Multiply

31(2 + w) = 4

Divide both sides by 31

`(31(2 + w))/(31)` =
`(4)/(31)` (simplify) -> 2 + w =
`(4)/(31)`

Subtract 2 from both sides

2 + w - 2 +
`(4)/(31)` - 2 (simplify) -> -
`(58)/(31)`

w = -
`(58)/(31)`
