Did I do this right?
Solve the following inequality.
-5 > -5 - 3w
(-5 + 5) > (-5 + 5) - 3w
0 > 0 - 3w
(0 / 3w) > 0 (-3w / -3)
0 < w
w > 0

Yes those are the correct steps and answer, reverse the inequality sign when dividing or multiplying by a negative number.
way too many steps....
-5 > -5 - 3w
add 5+3w to both sides, addition does nothing to the inequality sign
3w > 0
divide by +3, no change in inequality sign needed
w > 0
-5 > -5 - 3w
add 5+3w to both sides, addition does nothing to the inequality sign
3w > 0
divide by +3, no change in inequality sign needed
w > 0
