Answer

$w\leq 25$ The graph is shown below.

Work Step by Step

The given inequality is $\Rightarrow 20\geq \frac{4}{5}w$ Multiply each side by $\frac{5}{4}$. $\Rightarrow \frac{5}{4}\cdot 20\geq \frac{5}{4}\cdot \frac{4}{5}w$ Simplify. $\Rightarrow 25\geq w$ Hence, the solution is $w\leq 25$. Use a close circle because $25$ is a solution. Shade the number line on the left side.
