4-3(w-5) < -2w
---
Get rid of the parenthesis:
---
4-3w+15 < -2w
---
Add 3w to both sides:
4+15 < w
---
Switch the sides and simplify:
w > 19

It's the same procedure as you would do with an "=" sign with only minor differences.









One of those minor differences, multiplication/division by a negative numbers changes the direction of the inequality.
