To solve this, let's go by parts:

First, "6 subtracted from w", this means that we have W and subtract 6 from it. In Math form: W - 6

Then it says "is less than or equal to –22" This means, the expression we have ( W - 6) is less than or equal to -22. the sign for less than or equal to is: ≤

Then "less than or equal to -22" is writed: ≤ -22

Then we can write the whole expression:


W-6\le-22

And that's the sentence into an inequality.
