To solve for \( w \) in the equation
\[
w - \frac{5}{4} = \frac{23}{4}
\]
you need to isolate \( w \). You can do this by adding \(\frac{5}{4}\) to both sides of the equation:
\[
w = \frac{23}{4} + \frac{5}{4}
\]
Since both fractions have the same denominator, you can combine them:
\[
w = \frac{23 + 5}{4} = \frac{28}{4}
\]
Now, simplify \(\frac{28}{4}\):
\[
w = 7
\]
So the solution is
\[
\boxed{7}
\]
