-2%28w%2B4%29%2B9%3C-11 Start with the given inequality.


-2w-8%2B9%3C-11 Distribute.


-2w%2B1%3C-11 Combine like terms on the left side.


-2w%3C-11-1 Subtract 1 from both sides.


-2w%3C-12 Combine like terms on the right side.


w%3E%28-12%29%2F%28-2%29 Divide both sides by -2 to isolate w. note: Remember, the inequality sign flips when we divide both sides by a negative number.


w%3E6 Reduce.
