You can put this solution on YOUR website!
You need to be more precise on this one.
Do you mean 8%2F%28w+%2B+8%29+%2B+%286%2F%285w%29%29
Or do you mean +%288%2Fw%29+%2B+8+%2B+%286%2F5%29w
The answer depends on being precise.
Let's assume you meant the first equation
8%2F%28w+%2B+8%29+%2B+%286%2F%285w%29%29
40w%2F%28%28w%2B8%29%285w%29%29+%2B+%286%28w%2B8%29%29%2F%28%28w%2B8%29%285w%29%29
%2840w+%2B+6w%2B+48%29%2F%28%28w%2B8%29%285w%29%29
%2846w+%2B+48%29%2F%28%28w%2B8%29%285w%29%29
Now le's assume you meant the second equation:
+%288%2Fw%29+%2B+8+%2B+%286%2F5%29w
+%288%2Fw%29+%2B+%288w%2Fw%29+%2B+%28%286%2F5%29w%5E2%29%2Fw%29
+%28%2840++%2B+40w+%2B+6w%5E2%29%2F5w%29
