Solve w+3/4=1/3

$$w + \frac { 3 } { 4 } = \frac { 1 } { 3 }$$

Solve for w

$$w=-\frac{5}{12}\approx -0.416666667$$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Subtract \frac{3}{4} from both sides.

$$w=\frac{1}{3}-\frac{3}{4}$$

Least common multiple of 3 and 4 is 12. Convert \frac{1}{3} and \frac{3}{4} to fractions with denominator 12.

$$w=\frac{4}{12}-\frac{9}{12}$$

Since \frac{4}{12} and \frac{9}{12} have the same denominator, subtract them by subtracting their numerators.

$$w=\frac{4-9}{12}$$

Subtract 9 from 4 to get -5.

$$w=-\frac{5}{12}$$
