Question

Write as an inequality 9 is greater than or equal to w, and -7 is less than or equal to w

Answer 1

$9 \geqslant w \\ \\ - 7 \leqslant w$

Answer 2

"9 is greater than or equal to w" translates to $9 \ge w$ which flips to $w \le 9$. We swap both sides and flip the inequality sign as well.

"-7 is less than or equal to w" translates to $-7 \le w$

We have $-7 \le w$ and $w \le 9$ which then ultimately combine into the compound inequality $-7 \le w \le 9$

Final Answer: $-7 \le w \le 9$
