You can put this solution on YOUR website!
You'll need to a little more giving with your parens.
I'll guess at what you mean, but without parens, I may guess wrong.
For instance on 1
Do you mean W+%2B+%283%2F2%29+%3C+6 or %28%28W%2B3%29%29%2F2+%3C+6 ???
I'll guess the latter.
%28%28W%2B3%29%29%2F2+%3C+6 multiply both sides by 2. whatever you do to one side, you have to do to the other side
W%2B3+%3C+12+ subtract 3 from both sides to get W
W+%3C+9+
2)
Do you mean 3n-8%2F5%3C=2 or %28%283n-8%29%29%2F5%3C=2 or is that a minus 2? on the right.
I'll assume %28%283n-8%29%29%2F5%3C%28-2%29 multiply both sides by 5
%283n-8%29%3C%28-10%29 add 8 to both sides
3n+%3C+-2+ divide both sides by 3
n+%3C+%28-2%2F3%29+

Use the smae method for the last one. If you can;t get it, send me an email
