Isolate variable term: Isolate the variable term by subtracting 7 from both sides of the inequality.\frac{w}{-1} + 7 - 7 > 9 - 7
Simplify both sides: Simplify both sides of the inequality. \frac{w}{-1} > 2
Multiply by −1: Multiply both sides of the inequality by −1 to solve for w. Remember that multiplying or dividing both sides of an inequality by a negative number reverses the inequality sign.(\frac{w}{-1}) \times (-1) < 2 \times (-1)
Simplify inequality: Simplify the inequality to find the value of w.w < -2
