Melody, I interpret this as:

525 - 50w < 75 subtract 525 from both sides

-50w < -450 divide both sides by -50 and remember to "reverse" the inequality sign

w > 9

75-[525-50w]

=75-525+50w

=-450+50w

or

=50w-450

Yes I am getting too tired to think straight.

What about that extra w at the end - do you think that is a typo?

I think there should have been a comma between the parentheses and that "w"......
