Q. Lesson 2.2 Linear Inequalities inDelaware County Re...JUSTICE, REENTRY A...Progressive Online...We3w−9≥5+5w
Isolate variable term: Isolate the variable term on one side of the inequality.To do this, we will subtract 5w from both sides of the inequality to get all the w terms on one side.3w−9−5w≥5+5w−5w
Simplify after subtraction: Simplify both sides of the inequality after the subtraction. −2w−9≥5
Isolate w by addition: Now, we need to isolate w by getting rid of the −9 on the left side. We do this by adding 9 to both sides of the inequality.−2w−9+9≥5+9
Simplify after addition: Simplify both sides of the inequality after the addition.−2w≥14
Divide by −2: To solve for w, we need to divide both sides of the inequality by −2. Remember that when we divide or multiply both sides of an inequality by a negative number, we must reverse the inequality sign.−2w/−2≤14/−2
Final solution: Simplify both sides of the inequality after the division. w≤−7
