11 =

w/2
− –8

w =

1 answer

To solve the equation \( 11 = \frac{w}{2} - 8 \), we can follow these steps:

  1. Add 8 to both sides of the equation:

\[ 11 + 8 = \frac{w}{2} \]

\[ 19 = \frac{w}{2} \]

  1. Now, to solve for \( w \), multiply both sides by 2:

\[ 19 \times 2 = w \]

\[ w = 38 \]

So, the solution is:

\[ w = 38 \]
