umm..i think u can solve it out directly...no need to write the theory until it has been asked of u....

vijeya3 · Answer

is this what ur question was?

atsie · Answer

Half of it, yes of the question.
But the next part is how do I step by step solve it and then apply to the question?

vijeya3 · Answer

First you need to make the denominators of the left hand side equal..do u knw how to do that?

radar · Answer

The steps used, depends on the method the student will take to isolate the unknown variable "w" on the left side of the equal sign using similar algebraic operations on both sides of the equal sign.
Algebra rules.

radar · Answer

For example my first step would be to add 4 to both sides of the equation.  Another student my decide to multiply  by 5 both sides of the equation.
Each method is a step in a series of steps to get w by itself on left side and a value on the fright side.  Using the rule what you do to one side, you must do to the other in order  to maintain equality of each side.

atsie · Answer

SO if we add 4 to both sides of the equation....
it'd be
4+3 and 4+5 right?

It would look like this:|dw:1455294012915:dw|
