Question 375712: (2w+i)/(w-i) = (3w+4i)/(w+3i)
I have tried solving this by bringing one side over to the other, making a common denominator, and subtracting, and setting it equal to zero, but then I get stuck. There must be some trick to this. I appreciate you looking at this problem. =)

. Cross-multiply to get
,
, or
, or
,
0 = (w -7i )(w + i), giving
w = 7i or w = -i. Since none of these values make the denominators of the original equation equal to zero, these are the final answers.
