-3p>-48 Solve the inequality

Sagot :

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  p < 16

Step-by-step explanation:

Dividing the inequality by a negative number will reverse the comparison.

  -3p > -48

  (-3p)/(-3) < (-48)/(-3) . . . . divide both sides by the coefficient of p

  p < 16

_____

Alternate solution

Add 3p+48 to both sides.

  -3p +(3p +48) > -48 +(3p +48)

  48 > 3p

Divide both sides by 3; no reversal is necessary.

  16 > p . . . . . same answer as above, without the comparison reversal
