Fractions can be solved, just as non-fractions
The value of w is [tex]\mathbf{w = \frac{37}{24}}[/tex]
The equation is given as:
[tex]\mathbf{w + 3\frac 38 = 1\frac 56}[/tex]
Express as improper fractions
[tex]\mathbf{w + \frac{27}8 = \frac{11}6}[/tex]
Collect like terms
[tex]\mathbf{w =- \frac{27}8 = \frac{11}6}[/tex]
Take LCM
[tex]\mathbf{w = \frac{-81 + 44}{24}}[/tex]
[tex]\mathbf{w = \frac{-37}{24}}[/tex]
Rewrite as:
[tex]\mathbf{w = -\frac{37}{24}}[/tex]
Hence, the value of w is [tex]\mathbf{w = \frac{37}{24}}[/tex]
