How to Solve: (11 − w)/4 = 1 + w

Step 1 : First we multiply both sides by 4, this is to eliminate /4 on the lhs(left hand side), and then we multiply the rhs(right hand side) by 4, this gives us (11-w) = 4(1+w) which is then equeal to 11-w = 4 + 4w Step 2 : We then group the w's on one side and the intigers on one side, we can add w to both sides to move the w from the lhs to the rhs, and move the 4 from rhs to lhs, as it is positive on rhs it becomes negative on lhs. We get 11-4 = 4W + W Step 3  : We now calculate the grouped values and get 7 = 5W, and can divide both sides by 5 to calculate W, so 7/5 or 1.4 is equal to W.
