#w > 6#

#-13 > 17 - 5w#

First, add #color(blue)(5w)# to both sides of the inequality:
#-13 quadcolor(blue)(+quad5w) > 17 - 5w quadcolor(blue)(+quad5w)#

#-13 + 5w > 17#

Add #color(blue)13# to both sides:
#-13 quadcolor(blue)(+quad13) + 5w > 17 quadcolor(blue)(+quad13)#

#5w > 30#

Divide both sides by #color(blue)5#:
#(5w)/color(blue)5 > 30/color(blue)5#

#w > 6#

Hope this helps!
