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