Question

Be sure to show you work.
An inequality is shown.
9w < 108
What is the solution to this inequality?
A. w > 1/12
B. w < 12
C. w < 1/12
D. w > 12

Answer 1

To solve the inequality \( 9w < 108 \), we need to isolate \( w \).

Here are the steps:

1. Divide both sides of the inequality by 9:

\[
\frac{9w}{9} < \frac{108}{9}
\]

2. This simplifies to:

\[
w < 12
\]

Thus, the solution to the inequality \( 9w < 108 \) is:

\[
w < 12
\]

The correct answer is **B. w < 12**.
