Explanation & Answer

Thank you for the opportunity to help you with your question!

The solution is greater than 19.

The first thing to think about is: The solution to the above equation is the value of  "w"

Also remember that 11/12 is less than one

So to get "w", you divide the right hand side of the above equation by 11/12 (actually the right hand side is 19), then you get that w is greater than 19.

It is more clear also if you solve it

w=19/(11/12)=20.7

Please let me know if you need any clarification. I'm always happy to answer your questions.
