W-8/3=4

4 answers

W-8/3=4
W = 4 + 8/3
W = 4 + 2 2/3
W = 6 2/3
I got
W+(-8/3)=4
W=4+8/3
W=20/3=
W=6 2/3

Is my way still OK? I went the extra step to simplify. This is 8th grade algebra
Your way is fine!

I'm using the way I learned many, many years ago.

We both got the same answer. :-)
Thank you
