Question

This is a rational equation i don't understand lol

-2 1/4 = 2w

Answer 1

w = -
`(9)/(8)`

Explanation:

Given

- 2
`(1)/(4)` = 2w ( change the mixed number to an improper fraction )

-
`(9)/(4)` = 2w ( multiply both sides by 4 to clear the fraction )

- 9 = 8w ( divide both sides by 8 )

-
`(9)/(8)` = w

Answer 2

`w=-9/8`

Explanation:

We are given the equation
`-2 (1)/(4) = 2w`. To solve this equation, we can divide both sides by 2 to get that
`w = -2(1)/(4) / 2 = -(9)/(8)`.
