Question 343725
{{{17=w/5+13}}} Start with the given equation.



{{{5(17)=5(w/cross(5)+13)}}} Multiply both sides by the LCD {{{5}}} to clear any fractions.



{{{85=w+65}}} Distribute and multiply.



{{{0=w+65-85}}} Subtract {{{85}}} from both sides.



{{{-w=65-85}}} Subtract {{{w}}} from both sides.



{{{-w=-20}}} Combine like terms on the right side.



{{{w=(-20)/(-1)}}} Divide both sides by {{{-1}}} to isolate {{{w}}}.



{{{w=20}}} Reduce.

Answer:


So the solution is {{{w=20}}}
