-2w + 5 < -5
Basically, for problems like these, just think of the "less than" sign as an equal sign.
So, our first step would be to subtract 5 from both sides, so that w is by itself.
-2w < -5 - 5
Simplify.
-2w < -10
Divide both sides by -2 so that w is isolated.
w < -10 / -2
Simplify.
Remember, when dividing both sides by a negative, you change the sign.
w > 5
