Question

Solve equation.

w minus 2 over 5 equals 8 over 5

Answer 1

w = 2

Step-by-step explanation:

The given statement is,

→ w minus 2 over 5 equals 8 over 5.

Forming the equation,

→ w - (2/5) = (8/5)

Now the value of w will be,

→ w - (2/5) = (8/5)

→ w = (8/5) + (2/5)

→ w = (8 + 2)/5

→ w = 10/5

→ [ w = 2 ]

Hence, the value of w is 2.

Answer 2

w = 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Given equation:

`w-\frac25=\frac85`

Multiply both sides by 5:

`\implies 5\cdot w-\frac25 \cdot 5=\frac85\cdot 5`

`\implies 5w-2=8`

Add 2 to both sides:

`\implies 5w-2+2=8+2`

`\implies 5w=10`

Divide both sides by 5:

`\implies (5w)/(5)=(10)/(5)`

`\implies w=2`
