15w+40\leq 7w+16
Use the distributive property to multiply 5 by 3w+8.
15w+40-7w\leq 16
Subtract 7w from both sides.
8w+40\leq 16
Combine 15w and -7w to get 8w.
8w\leq 16-40
Subtract 40 from both sides.
8w\leq -24
Subtract 40 from 16 to get -24.
w\leq \frac{-24}{8}
Divide both sides by 8. Since 8 is positive, the inequality direction remains the same.
w\leq -3
Divide -24 by 8 to get -3.
