Question

How do you solve `-6p + 18> 6`?

Answer 1

`p<2`

Explanation:

Isolate - 6p on the left side of the inequality by subtracting 18 from both sides.

`-6pcancel(+18)cancel(-18)>6-18`

`rArr-6p> -12`

To solve for p, divide both sides by - 6

`(cancel(-6) p)/cancel(-6)<(-12)/(-6)larrcolor(red)" reverse symbol"`

`rArrp<2" is the solution"`
