Solve the following equation
500-20w>=100
Solve for w
500 - 20w ≥ 100
Divide each side by 500
| 500w | |
| 500 |
| = |
| -20 |
| 500 |
Group constants
Group our constants 500 and 100.
subtract 500 from both sides
-20w + 500 - 500 ≥ 100 - 500
Cancel 500 on the left side:
-20w ≥ -400
Divide each side of the inequality by -20
| -20w | |
| -20 |
| ≥ |
| -400 |
| -20 |
Since -20 < 0, reverse our sign from >= to <=
w ≤ 20
Final Answer
w ≤ 20
