Solve for w 1/3w+5/6w-2=-w

$\frac{1}{3} w + \frac{5}{6} w - 2 = - w$

Step 1

Simplify $\frac{1}{3} w + \frac{5}{6} w - 2$ .

Simplify each term.

Combine $\frac{1}{3}$ and $w$ .

$\frac{w}{3} + \frac{5}{6} w - 2 = - w$

Combine $\frac{5}{6}$ and $w$ .

$\frac{w}{3} + \frac{5 w}{6} - 2 = - w$

To write $\frac{w}{3}$ as a fraction with a common denominator, multiply by $\frac{2}{2}$ .

$\frac{w}{3} \cdot \frac{2}{2} + \frac{5 w}{6} - 2 = - w$

Write each expression with a common denominator of $6$ , by multiplying each by an appropriate factor of $1$ .

Multiply $\frac{w}{3}$ by $\frac{2}{2}$ .

$\frac{w \cdot 2}{3 \cdot 2} + \frac{5 w}{6} - 2 = - w$

Multiply $3$ by $2$ .

$\frac{w \cdot 2}{6} + \frac{5 w}{6} - 2 = - w$

Combine the numerators over the common denominator.

$\frac{w \cdot 2 + 5 w}{6} - 2 = - w$

Add $w \cdot 2$ and $5 w$ .

Reorder $w$ and $2$ .

$\frac{2 \cdot w + 5 w}{6} - 2 = - w$

Add $2 \cdot w$ and $5 w$ .

$\frac{7 \cdot w}{6} - 2 = - w$

$\frac{7 w}{6} - 2 = - w$

Step 2

Move all terms containing $w$ to the left side of the equation.

Add $w$ to both sides of the equation.

$\frac{7 w}{6} - 2 + w = 0$

To write $w$ as a fraction with a common denominator, multiply by $\frac{6}{6}$ .

$\frac{7 w}{6} + w \cdot \frac{6}{6} - 2 = 0$

Combine $w$ and $\frac{6}{6}$ .

$\frac{7 w}{6} + \frac{w \cdot 6}{6} - 2 = 0$

Combine the numerators over the common denominator.

$\frac{7 w + w \cdot 6}{6} - 2 = 0$

Add $7 w$ and $w \cdot 6$ .

Reorder $w$ and $6$ .

$\frac{7 w + 6 \cdot w}{6} - 2 = 0$

Add $7 w$ and $6 \cdot w$ .

$\frac{13 w}{6} - 2 = 0$

Step 3

Add $2$ to both sides of the equation.

$\frac{13 w}{6} = 2$

Step 4

Multiply both sides of the equation by $\frac{6}{13}$ .

$\frac{6}{13} \cdot \frac{13 w}{6} = \frac{6}{13} \cdot 2$

Step 5

Simplify both sides of the equation.

Simplify the left side.

Simplify $\frac{6}{13} \cdot \frac{13 w}{6}$ .

Cancel the common factor of $6$ .

Cancel the common factor.

$\frac{6}{13} \cdot \frac{13 w}{6} = \frac{6}{13} \cdot 2$

Rewrite the expression.

$\frac{1}{13} (13 w) = \frac{6}{13} \cdot 2$

Cancel the common factor of $13$ .

Factor $13$ out of $13 w$ .

$\frac{1}{13} (13 (w)) = \frac{6}{13} \cdot 2$

Cancel the common factor.

$\frac{1}{13} (13 w) = \frac{6}{13} \cdot 2$

Rewrite the expression.

$w = \frac{6}{13} \cdot 2$

Simplify the right side.

Multiply $\frac{6}{13} \cdot 2$ .

Combine $\frac{6}{13}$ and $2$ .

$w = \frac{6 \cdot 2}{13}$

Multiply $6$ by $2$ .

$w = \frac{12}{13}$

Step 6

The result can be shown in multiple forms.

Exact Form:

$w = \frac{12}{13}$

Decimal Form:

$w = 0.\overline{923076}$
