Question

5/6 = 10/ W+3 solve for W

Answer 1

`\huge\boxed{w=9}`

Explanation:

In order to solve for w here, let's write the proportion.

`(5)/(6) = (10)/(w+3)`

To solve for w, we need to get it isolated on one side of the equation. To do this, we can first multiply both sides by 6 and w+3 in order to get rid of the denominators.

• 
  `(5)/(6) \cdot 6 \cdot w+3 = (10)/(w+3) \cdot (w+3) \cdot6`
• 
  `5(w+3) = 60`
• 
  `5w+15 = 60`
• 
  `5w = 45`
• 
  `w = 9`

Therefore, w=9.
