6 - w = 1 4/5
I'm going to convert the mixed number to an improper fraction. 1 4/5 = 5/5 + 4/5 = 9/5
6 - w = 9/5
Add the w to both sides.
6 - w + w = 9/5 + w
The w's on the left cancel.
6 = 9/5 + w
Now subtract the 9/5 from both sides.
6 - 9/5 = 9/5 - 9/5 + w
The 9/5's on the right cancel.
6 - 9/5 = w
Convert 6 to a fraction over 5. 6*5 = 30, so 6 = 30/5
30/5 - 9/5 = w
Subtract.
21/5 = w
w = 21/5 = 4 1/5
Check our answer by plugging into the original equation.
6 - 21/5 = 1 4/5
6 - 4 1/5 = 1 4/5
Yup. We got it.
6 - w = 1 4/5
