14w%2B64%3E=17w-323 Start with the given inequality.


14w%3E=17w-323-64 Subtract 64 from both sides.


14w-17w%3E=-323-64 Subtract 17w from both sides.


-3w%3E=-323-64 Combine like terms on the left side.


-3w%3E=-387 Combine like terms on the right side.


w%3C=%28-387%29%2F%28-3%29 Divide both sides by -3 to isolate w. note: Remember, the inequality sign flips when we divide both sides by a negative number.


w%3C=129 Reduce.

Answer:

So the solution is w%3C=129
