Answer:

w = 9 7/10

Explanation:

w + 4 1/4 = 13 19/20

Subtract 4 1/4 from each side

w = 13 19/20 - 4 1/4

Get a common denominator of 20

w = 13 19/ 20 - 4 1/4*5/5

w = 13 19/ 20 - 4 5/20

w = 9 14/20

We can simplify

w = 9 7/10

Rewrite the fractions to have the same denominator:

1/4 can be rewritten as 5/20


now you have w + 4 5/20 = 13 19/20

Solve for w by subtracting 4 5/20 from both sides:

W = 9 14/20 which can be rewritten as 9 7/10


answer: 9 7/10
