Question

solve for w.
2w - 20 ≥ 5w + 19
write your answer with w first, followed by an inequality symbol.

Explanation:

Step1: Move w - terms to one side

$2w-5w\geq19 + 20$

Step2: Simplify both sides

$-3w\geq39$

Step3: Solve for w (divide by - 3 and reverse inequality)

$w\leq\frac{39}{-3}$
$w\leq - 13$

Answer:

$w\leq - 13$
