Write the following as an inequality.

−5 is less than w, and 9 is greater than or equal to w

- 5 < w <= 9

(the second sign is a less than or equal toooooo sign : )

The inequality for the given statement is -5 < w ≤ 9.

To write the given information as an inequality, we can use the symbols for "less than" (<) and "greater than or equal to" (≥).

The inequality can be written as:
-5 < w ≤ 9

This means that w is greater than -5 and less than or equal to 9.
