Answer:

Explanation:

w+ -4 2/5= 1/10

W = 1/10 + 4 2/5

W = 1/10 + 22/5

W = (1 + 44)/10

W = 45/10

W = 9/2

W = 4 1/2

The solution to the equation
\(w - (4)/(5) = (1)/(10)\) is \(w = (9)/(10)\). This is obtained by isolating w through addition of
\((4)/(5)\) to both sides and simplifying the expression.

Let's solve the equation for w:


\[ w + \left(-(4)/(5)\right) = (1)/(10) \]

To isolate w, you can add
\((4)/(5)\) to both sides of the equation:


\[ w = (1)/(10) + (4)/(5) \]

To add these fractions, find a common denominator, which is 10:


\[ w = (1)/(10) + (8)/(10) \]

Combine the numerators:


\[ w = (9)/(10) \]

Therefore, w is equal to
\((9)/(10)\).
