Question

4 = 0.25 (w - 4.3)

Solve for w

Answer 1

Answer:
`w=20.3`

Reorder the terms:

`4 = 0.25(-4.3 + w)`

`4 = (-4.3 * 0.25 + w * 0.25)`

`4 = (-1.075 + 0.25w)`

Solving

`4 = -1.075 + 0.25w`

Solving for variable 'w'.

Move all terms containing w to the left, all other terms to the right.

Add '-0.25w' to each side of the equation.

`4 + -0.25w = -1.075 + 0.25w + -0.25w`

Combine like terms: 0.25w + -0.25w = 0.00

`4 + -0.25w = -1.075 + 0.00`

`4 + -0.25w = -1.075`

Add '-4' to each side of the equation.

`4 + -4 + -0.25w = -1.075 + -4`

Combine like terms: 4 + -4 = 0

`0 + -0.25w = -1.075 + -4`

`-0.25w = -1.075 + -4`

Combine like terms: -1.075 + -4 = -5.075

`-0.25w = -5.075`

Divide each side by '-0.25'.

`w = 20.3`

Answer 2

4 = 0.25 (w - 4.3). Divide each side by 0.25

16 = w - 4.3. Add 4.3 to each side.

20.3 = w
