You didn't have parentheses in your equation.
Is this what you meant?
%28w+%2B+4%29%2F8+=+%28w+%2B+10%29%2F5
5%28w+%2B+4%29+=+8%28w+%2B+10%29
5w%2B20=8w%2B80
-3w=60
w=-20
Check your answer.
%28w+%2B+4%29%2F8+=+%28w+%2B+10%29%2F5
%28-20+%2B+4%29%2F8+=+%28-20%2B+10%29%2F5
%28-16%29%2F8=%28-10%29%2F5
-2=-2
True statement.
Good answer.
