Solve for w w-(-2/3)=1.06

$w - (- \frac{2}{3}) = 1.06$

Step 1

Subtract $\frac{2}{3}$ from both sides of the equation.

$w = 1.06 - \frac{2}{3}$

Step 2

To write $1.06$ as a fraction with a common denominator, multiply by $\frac{3}{3}$ .

$w = 1.06 \cdot \frac{3}{3} - \frac{2}{3}$

Step 3

Combine $1.06$ and $\frac{3}{3}$ .

$w = \frac{1.06 \cdot 3}{3} - \frac{2}{3}$

Step 4

Combine the numerators over the common denominator.

$w = \frac{1.06 \cdot 3 - 2}{3}$

Step 5

Simplify the numerator.

Multiply $1.06$ by $3$ .

$w = \frac{3.18 - 2}{3}$

Subtract $2$ from $3.18$ .

$w = \frac{1.18}{3}$

Step 6

Divide $1.18$ by $3$ .

$w = 0.39\overline{3}$
