Explanation:
To solve an equation for a variable, you can isolate the variable by performing operations that eliminate all other terms.
In this case, the given equation is 2x^2/y = w + 2/4. To solve for w, you can first eliminate the 2/4 term on the right-hand side by multiplying both sides of the equation by 4/2:
4 * (2x^2/y) = 4 * (w + 2/4)
4 * 2x^2/y = 4w + 4 * 2/4
8x^2/y = 4w + 2
Then, you can subtract 2 from both sides to eliminate the 2 on the right-hand side:
8x^2/y - 2 = 4w + 2 - 2
8x^2/y - 2 = 4w
Finally, you can divide both sides of the equation by 4 to eliminate the 4 on the right-hand side:
(8x^2/y - 2) / 4 = (4w) / 4
w = 8x^2/7 - 2
Therefore, the correct answer is w = 8 x squared minus 2 y Over y. This is an equivalent equation to find w, as it gives the same value for w as the original equation when the same values are used for x and y.
The other equations given are not equivalent to the original equation for finding w.
