We're being asked to solve the given equation.
00:03
Well, i see we have all these fractions, so to get rid of them, i'm going to multiply each term or each fraction, but i have to include this last term as well by the least common denominator, which in this case is 8.
00:16
Now, let's start with the first fraction.
00:19
Well, 8 goes into 8 one time, so both of these 8s cancel, so we'll just bring down the numerator, w minus 3.
00:26
Now, for our next fraction, 4 goes into 8 2 times, so the 4 cancels and the 8 becomes a 2.
00:32
But don't forget, there's a negative here, so we have to distribute by negative 2.
00:36
Well, negative 2 times 5 is negative 10, and negative 2 times negative w is positive 2w.
00:44
Now, on the right -hand side, for the first fraction, 8 goes into 8 one time, so those just cancel, and we're just left with the numerator 4w minus 1.
00:54
And lastly, we have 8 times 1, which is going to be negative 8, because we'll bring down the negative side.
01:00
Well, i see we have like terms on both sides of the equation...
