Question

1/3w + 3 = 2/3w -5

Answer 1

\[\frac{ 1}{ 3 }w +3 \rightarrow or \rightarrow \frac{ 1 }{ 3w }+3 ??\]

Answer 2

The First One.

Answer 3

ok, so first times every number in the equation by 3
\[\frac{ 1 }{3 }w + 3 = \frac{ 2 }{ 3 }w - 5\]
\[3(\frac{ 1 }{3 }w + 3) = 3(\frac{ 2 }{ 3 }w - 5)\]
\[\frac{ 3 }{3 }w + 9 = \frac{ 6 }{ 3 }w - 15\]
\[1w + 9 = 2w - 15\]
now balance it out, add 15 to both sides to place the numbers onto the LHS of the equation
\[1w + 9 +15 = 2w - 15 +15\]
\[1w + 24 = 2w \]
then subtract 1w from both sides of the equation to place all of the w's on the RHS of the equation
\[1w -1w + 24 = 2w -1w \]
\[24 = w \]
