Solve for w -2/3=w-7/3

$- \frac{2}{3} = w - \frac{7}{3}$

Step 1

Rewrite the equation as $w - \frac{7}{3} = - \frac{2}{3}$ .

$w - \frac{7}{3} = - \frac{2}{3}$

Step 2

Move all terms not containing $w$ to the right side of the equation.

Add $\frac{7}{3}$ to both sides of the equation.

$w = - \frac{2}{3} + \frac{7}{3}$

Combine the numerators over the common denominator.

$w = \frac{- 2 + 7}{3}$

Add $- 2$ and $7$ .

$w = \frac{5}{3}$

Step 3

The result can be shown in multiple forms.

Exact Form:

$w = \frac{5}{3}$

Decimal Form:

$w = 1.\overline{6}$

Mixed Number Form:

$w = 1 \frac{2}{3}$
