You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Proper notation is important. ASSUMING you have (6w-5)/(w-4)=24/(w-4), which is no what you wrote,
solution steps can be
%286w-5%29%2F%28w-4%29=24%2F%28w-4%29
%286w-5%29%28w-4%29=24%28w-4%29
6w-5=24
6w=24%2B5
6w=29
highlight%28w=29%2F6%29


If you really have 6w-5/(w-4)=24/(w-4) which would appear 6w-5%2F%28w-4%29=24%2F%28w-4%29,
the steps would go somewhat differently and solution will be different, too. Solution
would be for this, w=0%2B-+sqrt%2853%2F6%29 and most likely not what you have for your
given equation.
