Hi! Hope you are having a great day!


  • \displaystyle(w)/(2) +14=20

Step number 1: Move 14 to the right:


\displaystyle(w)/(2) =20-14


\displaystyle(w)/(2) =6

Now, multiply both sides by 2:


\fbox{w=12} (Answer)

Hope it helps!

Answer:

  • W = 12

Explanation:


\sf\:(W)/(2) + 14 = 20\\\sf\:(W)/(2) + (14 * 2)/(1 * 2) = 20\\\sf\:(W)/(2) + (28)/(2) = 20\\\sf\:(W + 28)/(2) = 20\\\sf\:W + 28 = 20*2\\\sf\:W + 28 = 40\\\sf\:W = 40 - 28\\\boxed{\bf\:W = 12}

Steps:

  • Find the LCM so that the denominator of W/2 & 14 is the same (LCM = 2)
  • Now, add the 2 numbers in the LHS.
  • Bring 2 to the RHS & multiply it with 20.
  • Bring 28 to the RHS.
  • By completing these steos, we'll get the value of W as 12.
