You can put this solution on YOUR website!
\"3w%2F5-1=w%2F2%2B1\"
\n" ); document.write( "first, get the w terms on the left side of the equation, and everything else on the right:
\n" ); document.write( "\"3w%2F5-w%2F2-1=1\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"3w%2F5-w%2F2=2\"
\n" ); document.write( "Find the LCD of the two fractions so you can add them. The LCD is 10, so rewrite each fraction in terms of the LCD:
\n" ); document.write( "\"6w%2F10-5w%2F10=2\"
\n" ); document.write( "Combine the fractions:
\n" ); document.write( "\"w%2F10=2\"
\n" ); document.write( "Solve for w:
\n" ); document.write( "\"highlight%28w=20%29\"
