Answer:
w = 7 7/8
Step-by-step explanation:
w + 1/8 = 8
First, subtract 1/8 from both sides of the equation
- 1/8 - 1/8
[tex]w = \frac{63}{8} [/tex]
alternative forms:
[tex]w= 7 \frac{7}{8}, \: or \: 7.875[/tex]
[tex]w + \frac{1}{8} = 8 \\ subtract \: \frac{1}{8} \: from \: both \: sides \\ \\ w = \frac{63}{8}[/tex]
