Ok, from now on I shall use brackets! That statement you made did make me chuckle though.

Please please use brackets.

(3w+20)/20 = A/(A+12)

Make.a.common denominator? Or multiply throughout by 20(a+12)

What do you get?


You should have: (after multiplying through)

(3w+20)(A+12) = 20A

Expand. What do you get?
