9w - 36 < - 4 (2 - 4w)

1 answer

To solve this inequality, let's simplify the expression step by step:

9w - 36 < -4(2 - 4w)

Distribute -4 to 2 and -4w:

9w - 36 < -8 + 16w

Combine like terms:

9w - 16w < -8 + 36

-7w < 28

Divide both sides by -7, remembering to reverse the inequality because we are dividing by a negative number:

w > 28/-7

w > -4

Therefore, the solution to the inequality is w > -4.
