Question

What is the solution for w in the equation

w+1/2=1/4w+2

options

w=2
w=9/8
w=4
w=10/3​

Answer 1

Subtract 1/2 from both sides of the equation.

w=1/4w+1 1/2

Multiply both sides by 4

4w=w+6

Subtract w from both sides

3w=6

Divide both sides by 3

w=2

Check answer

2+1/2=1/4(2)+2

2 1/2=2 1/2
