-2w%2B6%3C2w Start with the given inequality.


-2w%3C2w-6 Subtract 6 from both sides.


-2w-2w%3C-6 Subtract 2w from both sides.


-4w%3C-6 Combine like terms on the left side.


w%3E%28-6%29%2F%28-4%29 Divide both sides by -4 to isolate w. note: Remember, the inequality sign flips when we divide both sides by a negative number.


w%3E3%2F2 Reduce.

Answer:

So the solution is w%3E3%2F2


The answer in decimal form is w%3E1.5
