Question

Solve the equation. SHOW YOUR WORK
m+8
----- = 6
2

w
--- - 4 = 3
4

Answer 1

m+8 = 6*2
m+8 = 12
m = 12-8 =4

w/4= 3+4
w/4= 7
w= 7*4 = 28

Answer 2

$\dfrac{m+8}{2}=6 \\ \\ m+8=6 \times 2 \\ \\ m+8=12 \\ \\ m=12-8 \\ \\ m=4 \\ \\ \\ \dfrac{w}{4} -4=3 \\ \\ \dfrac{w}{4} = 3 +4 \\ \\ \dfrac{w}{4} =7 \\ \\ w = 7 \times 4 \\ \\ w = 28$
