Is the equation %289w%2B1%29%2F2%2B%28w-4%29%2F4=28 ??


%289w%2B1%29%2F2%2B%28w-4%29%2F4=28 Start with the given equation


2%289w%2B1%29%2Bw-4=112 Multiply EVERY term by the LCD 4 to clear the fractions


18w%2B2%2Bw-4=112 Distribute


19w-2=112 Combine like terms.


19w=114 Add 2 to both sides


w=114%2F19 Divide both sides by 19 to isolate "w"


w=6 Reduce


So the solution is w=6
