3w + 2 < 2w + 5
First, subtract 2 from both sides. / Your problem should look like: [tex]3w \ \textless \ 2w + 5 - 2[/tex]
Second, simplify. / Your problem should look like: [tex]3w \ \textless \ 2w + 3[/tex]
Third, subtract 2w from both sides. / Your problem should look like: [tex]3w - 2w \ \textless \ 3[/tex]
Fourth, subtract 3w - 2w to get w. / Your problem should look like: [tex]w \ \textless \ 3[/tex]
Answer: w < 3
