Two options
...
Option 1
%284%2F5%29w+%2B+%283%2F5%29+=+2w
Multiply the entire equation by 5
4w + 3 = 10w
3 = 10w - 4w
3 = 6w
Divide both sides by 6
highlight_green%28w+=+3%2F6+=+1%2F2%29
...
Option 2
%284%2F5%29w+%2B+%283%2F5%29+=+2w
%284%2F5%29w+-+2w+=+-3%2F5
%284%2F5%29w+-+2w%285%2F5%29+=+-3%2F5
%284%2F5%29w+-+%2810%2F5%29w+=+-3%2F5
%28-6%2F5%29w+=+-3%2F5
w+=+%28-3%2F5%29%28-5%2F6%29+=+1%2F2
