<PRE><B>Question 120515</B>
{{{3w/5-1=w/2+1}}}
first, get the w terms on the left side of the equation, and everything else on the right:
{{{3w/5-w/2-1=1}}}
{{{3w/5-w/2=2}}}
Find the LCD of the two fractions so you can add them. The LCD is 10, so rewrite each fraction in terms of the LCD:
{{{6w/10-5w/10=2}}}
Combine the fractions:
{{{w/10=2}}}
Solve for w:
{{{highlight(w=20)}}}
