Solve for w. -9.7w ≤ 1.02 - 9.5w Write your answer with w first, followed by an inequality symbol. ______

Isolate variable w: First, let's isolate the variable w on one side of the inequality. -9.7w ≤ 1.02 - 9.5w -9.7w + 9.5w ≤ 1.02 -0.2w ≤ 1.02 Divide by -0.2: Next, divide both sides by -0.2 to solve for w. Remember to flip the inequality sign because we are dividing by a negative number. -0.2w / -0.2 ≥ 1.02 / -0.2 w ≥ -5.1

Q. Solve for

w

\newline

-9.7w \leq 1.02 - 9.5w

\newline

Write your answer with

w

first, followed by an inequality symbol.

______

Isolate variable w: First, let's isolate the variable w on one side of the inequality. $\newline$ $-9.7w \leq 1.02 - 9.5w$ $\newline$ $-9.7w + 9.5w \leq 1.02$ $\newline$ $-0.2w \leq 1.02$
Divide by $-0.2$ : Next, divide both sides by $-0.2$ to solve for $w$ . Remember to flip the inequality sign because we are dividing by a negative number. $\newline$ $-0.2w / -0.2 \geq 1.02 / -0.2$ $\newline$ $w \geq -5.1$
