We have the next equation
[tex]\frac{11}{15}=w-\frac{8}{15}[/tex]And we must solve it for w
1. we must add 8/15 to both sides (since we have the same denominator we add up the numerators and the denominator is the same)
[tex]\begin{gathered} \frac{11}{15}+\frac{8}{15}=w-\frac{8}{15}+\frac{8}{15} \\ \frac{19}{15}=w \end{gathered}[/tex]2. we should swap sides
[tex]w=\frac{19}{15}[/tex]ANSWER:
