ANSWER
[tex]w\text{ = }\frac{7}{2}=3\frac{1}{2}[/tex]EXPLANATION
We want to solve for w in:
[tex]4w\text{ - 11 = 3}[/tex]Let us collect like terms:
[tex]\begin{gathered} 4w\text{ = 3 + 11} \\ 4w\text{ = 14} \\ w\text{ = }\frac{14}{4} \\ w\text{ = }\frac{7}{2}=\text{3}\frac{1}{2} \end{gathered}[/tex]That is the answer
