Answer:

W is either -22.5, or less than -22.5

Explanation:

-9>=2/5 times w (I wasn't sure what you meant by "and" 9. Like 9w?)

W has to be a negative number, or else it would be greater than 9, which would make the equation wrong.

2/5 times -22 1/2=-9. So w can be -22 1/2 or -22.5

W can then be anything "lower" (on the left side) of -22.5.

W<-22.5
