Question 288115: I'm not quite sure where to start with this one:
w+3 all divided 4, then -3 = w+4 all divided by 3
w+3/4 - 3 = w+4/3

You should multiply both sides of the equation with a number in which 4 and 3 (as the divisors) are its factors. The simplest way to get this is to, of course, multiply the two, 4 x 3 yielding 12.
%28%28w%2B3%29%2F4%29-3=%28w%2B4%29%2F3
Multiply both sides by twelve, and then you'll get rid of the divisors and end up with (don't forget to multiply the (-3) with 12 as well!):
3%2A%28w%2B3%29-12%2A3=4%2A%28w%2B4%29
From there, it's just a matter of multiplying and then moving numbers and the variable w back and forth.
