Divide by -2 on both sides to isolate. So, w< -8. Reverse the inequality.

Divide by -2 on both sides to isolate. So, w > -8. Multiply by -2 on both sides to isolate. Divide by 4 on both sides. So, w < 8.​

Answer 1

Since we are dividing by a negative number, we must reverse the inequality sign.

Here, divide by -2, and reverse the inequality sign.

`w > - 8`
