Solve the Inequality for w 5<3+w

$5 < 3 + w$

Step 1

Rewrite so $w$ is on the left side of the inequality.

$3 + w > 5$

Step 2

Move all terms not containing $w$ to the right side of the inequality.

Subtract $3$ from both sides of the inequality.

$w > 5 - 3$

Subtract $3$ from $5$ .

$w > 2$

Step 3

The result can be shown in multiple forms.

Inequality Form:
