-15w-15w%3E60-60 Subtract 15w from both sides.


-30w%3E60-60 Combine like terms on the left side.


-30w%3E0 Combine like terms on the right side.


w%3C%280%29%2F%28-30%29 Divide both sides by -30 to isolate w. note: Remember, the inequality sign flips when we divide both sides by a negative number.
