12 > -2/5w-16

the -2/5w is a fraction

The answer is w > -10.

Here are the steps I did.

1. Simplify 2/5w to 2w/5 ( -12 > -2w/5 - 16)

2. Add 16 to both sides ( -12 + 16 > -2w/5

3. Simplify -12 + 16 to 4 ( 4 > -2w/5)

4. Multiply both sides by 5 ( 4 x 5 > -2w)

5. Simplify 4 x 5 to 20 ( 20 > -2w)

6. Divide both sides by -2 ( -20/2 < w)

7. Simplify 20/2 to 10 ( -10 < w)

8. Finally switch it up ( w > -10)

Where is the diagram?

step-by-step explanation:

when the line is solid:

it's either < or >

when the line is dashed:

it's either < or >

about the problem:

since the line is solid, that means it's either < or >
