Answer:

No solution

Explanation:

The given equation is,

→ w + (3/4) = w - (2/2)

Now we have to,

→ Find the required value of w.

Then the value of w will be,

→ w + (3/4) = w - (2/2)

Finding LCM in both sides:

→ (4w/4) + (3/4) = (2w/2) - (2/2)

→ (4w + 3)/4 = (2w - 2)/2

Cross multiplying both sides:

→ 2(4w + 3) = 4(2w - 2)

Applying Distributive property:

→ 2(4w) + 2(3) = 4(2w) - 4(2)

→ 8w + 6 = 8w - 8

→ 8w - 8w = -8 - 6

→ [ 0 = -14 ] => {No solution}

Hence, it has no solutions.
