Answer

$w \lt -3$

Work Step by Step

Inequality: $ 3w + 4 \lt -5 $ Add 4 yellow tiles to each side: $ 3w + 4 + (-4) \lt -5 +(-4) $ Simplify by removing the zero pairs. $3w \lt -9 $ Divide each side into two equal groups. $\frac{3w}{3} \lt \frac{-9}{3} $ Each green tile is less than three red tiles, so $w \lt -3$.
