Question

Solve the inequality for W:
5W - 23 < - 3 (3 - 4W)

Answer 1

5w−23<−3(3−4w)

Simplify both sides of the inequality.

5w−23<12w−9

Subtract 12w from both sides.

5w−23−12w<12w−9−12w

−7w−23<−9

Add 23 to both sides.

−7w−23+23<−9+23

−7w<14

Divide both sides by -7.

−7w/−7 < 14/−7

w > −2
