Question 637704: 6-w=1 4/5
I know how to find the answer by using common sense. However, I'm used to problems like this:
w - 6=1 4/5
I would know to use the opposite operation and add 6 to both sides, etc...I just don't know the formula on figuring out the original problem. My textbook does not give me any guidance or example problems. Answer by ankor@dixie-net.com(22740) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! 6-w=1 4/5
convert mixed number to an improper fraction; 5/5 + 4/5
6 - w =
multiply both sides by 5 to get rid of the denominator
5(6-w) = 9
30 - 5w = 9
Subtract 9 from both sides, add 5w to both sides
30 - 9 = 5w
21 = 5w
Divide both sides by 5
w = or 4 as a mixed number
