Question

6>w/-2 solve the inequalities

Answer 1

w>-12

Explanation:

First, you you need to get rid of the -2 in w/-2 by multiplying -2 by both sides like this.

(-2)6>w/-2(-2)

Then you simplify it like this:

-12>w

However, since you multiplied/divided with a negative, you switch the inequality sign like this:

w>-12

And that's the answer!

Answer 2

w>-12

Explanation:

6>w/-2 (Given)

6>-w/2 (Rewrite)

12>-w (Multiply both sides by 2)

-12<w (Remember to flip the sign when dividing or mulitplying by a negative)

w>-12 (Rewrite with w in front)

Therefore, w>-12 is the solution to the inequality.
