Question 1011163: -3 < w/-2 + 10 + w/4
Can you please show me how to solve this problem? I get confused as to whether you need to multiply the left side by -2 (to balance out the w/-2) and 4 (to balance out the w/4).
So, does it end up -3 - 10 < w/-2 + + 10 - 10 + w/4
-13 < w/-2 + w/4 ?

Question 1011818: HI i'm a little stuck on this current problem of mine. Would love some help and insight. thank you in adavance :)

Suppose that a household spent $350 less in 2015 by purchasing its cars and home
insurances from Company A than it had done in 2014 by purchasing the cars
insurances from Company B and the home insurance from Company C. Given that
 the household had spent a maximum of $2,000 on insurances in 2015, and
 the household spent $50 less on cars insurances to Company B than on
home insurance to Company C in 2014,
write an inequality to represent the amount that the total household spent to
Companies B and C in 2014. Hence, using the inequalities found, determine the
maximum amount the household spent to each of these companies in 2014
