Please help! {{ w/-2 is a fraction}}
9-w/-2>-15
9-W%2F-2+%3E+-+15

- 18 - W < 30 Multiply inequality by LCD, - 2, as inequality sign changes

- W < 48
W+%3E+48%2F-1 Inequality sign changes when dividing by a negative
Therefore, highlight_green%28W+%3E+-+48%29
--------------
Check
--------------
Let W = - 46 (W > - 48)
Then 9-W%2F-2+%3E+-+15 = 9-%28-46%29%2F-2+%3E+-+15 ------> (9 - 23) > - 15 ---> - 14 > - 15
