Question:
solve for w: (4w/5)-2=(2w/3)+1

Answer:

%284w%2F5%29-2=%282w%2F3%29%2B1

Add 2 to both sides.....


%284w%2F5%29-2+%2B+2+=%282w%2F3%29%2B1+%2B+2

==> %284w%2F5%29+=%282w%2F3%29%2B3

Subtract %282w%29%2F3 from both sides....

==> %284w%2F5%29-%282w%29%2F3=%282w%2F3%29%2B+3+-%282w%29%2F3

==> %284w%2F5%29-%282w%29%2F3=+3+

Multiply throughout by 15...

==> 15%2A+%284w%2F5%29-+15%2A+%282w%2F3%29+=+15+%2A+3+

==> 3%2A+4w+-++5%2A++2w++=+45+

==> +12w+-+10w+=+45+

==> +2w+=+45

Divide both sides by 2

==> +%282w%29%2F2+=+45%2F2+

==> +w+=+27.5+

Hope you found the explanation useful.
