Question

How do you solve this? 3w+2<2w+5

Answer 1

3w + 2 < 2w + 5

First, subtract 2 from both sides. / Your problem should look like:
`3w \ \textless \ 2w + 5 - 2`
Second, simplify. / Your problem should look like:
`3w \ \textless \ 2w + 3`
Third, subtract 2w from both sides. / Your problem should look like:
`3w - 2w \ \textless \ 3`
Fourth, subtract 3w - 2w to get w. / Your problem should look like:
`w \ \textless \ 3`

Answer: w < 3
