#6 On the sketch write an equation for the hanger diagram and then show how to solve the equation algebraically

ANSWER:
Equation:
4w + 3/2 = 17/2
w = 7/4
STEP-BY-STEP EXPLANATION:
With the help of graphing we can establish the following equation:
[tex]\begin{gathered} w+w+w+w+\frac{3}{2}=\frac{17}{2} \\ 4w+\frac{3}{2}=\frac{17}{2} \end{gathered}[/tex]We solve for w:
[tex]\begin{gathered} 4w=\frac{17}{2}-\frac{3}{2} \\ w=\frac{\frac{14}{2}}{4} \\ w=\frac{14}{8}=\frac{7}{4} \end{gathered}[/tex]The value of w is 7/4
