Answer: w = 35/4
Step-by-step explanation: w−
2
1
=8
4
1
Multiply both sides of the equation by 4, the least common multiple of 2,4.
4w−2=8×4+1
Multiply 8 and 4 to get 32.
4w−2=32+1
Add 32 and 1 to get 33.
4w−2=33
Add 2 to both sides.
4w=33+2
Add 33 and 2 to get 35.
4w=35
Divide both sides by 4.
w= 35/4
