Answer:
[tex]\huge\boxed{\bf\:w = \frac{49}{2} = 24\frac{1}{2} = 24.5}[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
[tex]w - 9 \frac { 1 } { 2 } = 15[/tex]
Multiply both the sides of the equation by 2.
[tex]2w-\left(9\times 2+1\right)=30 \\2w-\left(18+1\right)=30 \\2w-19=30[/tex]
Bring [tex]19[/tex] to the left hand side of the equation.
[tex]2w=30+19 \\2w=49 \\\boxed{\bf\:w = \frac{49}{2} = 24\frac{1}{2} = 24.5}[/tex]
