#w = 17#

Explanation:

#9 = (w + 19)/4#

First, we need to move the four to the other side, so it becomes a multiplication.

#36 = w + 19#

#17 = w# (subtracted 19 on both sides)

#w = 17#

#=> w =17#

Explanation:

#9= \frac { w + 19} { 4}#

By transposition:

#9xx4 = w+19#

#=> 36 = w+19#

# => w = 36-19#

#=> w =17#
