\frac{1}{2}w-3+\frac{3}{4}w=\frac{11}{5}
Add \frac{3}{4}w to both sides.
\frac{5}{4}w-3=\frac{11}{5}
Combine \frac{1}{2}w and \frac{3}{4}w to get \frac{5}{4}w.
\frac{5}{4}w=\frac{11}{5}+3
Add 3 to both sides.
\frac{5}{4}w=\frac{11}{5}+\frac{15}{5}
Convert 3 to fraction \frac{15}{5}.
\frac{5}{4}w=\frac{11+15}{5}
Since \frac{11}{5} and \frac{15}{5} have the same denominator, add them by adding their numerators.
\frac{5}{4}w=\frac{26}{5}
Add 11 and 15 to get 26.
w=\frac{26}{5}\times \frac{4}{5}
Multiply both sides by \frac{4}{5}, the reciprocal of \frac{5}{4}.
w=\frac{26\times 4}{5\times 5}
Multiply \frac{26}{5} times \frac{4}{5} by multiplying numerator times numerator and denominator times denominator.
w=\frac{104}{25}
Do the multiplications in the fraction \frac{26\times 4}{5\times 5}.
