My teacher said I got it wrong.

OpenStudy (amistre64):

your answer is wrong ... plug in w = 100 and see if it fits

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[\eqalign{ &-12w\gt-144 \\ &\frac{-12w}{-12}\lt\frac{-144}{-12} \\ &w\lt12 }\]

OpenStudy (amistre64):

as a rule of thumb, whenever you multiply of divide by a negative number, you need to flip the "equality" sign < becomes > > becomes < = becomes =

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I got it wrong because I didn't flip the sign?

OpenStudy (amistre64):

pretty much ...

OpenStudy (amistre64):

you got it wrong because you did not provide the correct solution set :)
