Question 236103: in the expression w/x - y/z = 1 the letters can be replaced by the numbers (1,2,3,4) but not necessarily in that order. the sum of w and y is
a) 3 b) 4 c) 5 d) 6 e) 7

Answer by Theo(13342)   (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website!
w = 3
x = 1
y = 4
z = 2

w/x - y/z = 1 becomes:

3/1 - 4/2 = 1 which becomes:

3 - 2 = 1 which becomes:

1 = 1

since w = 3 and y equals 4 then:

w + y = 3 + 4 = 7

your answer is e).
