Hey
OpenStudy (anonymous):
combine like terms, what do you get?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
4p-3p = 1p
then add 1 to both sides
OpenStudy (anonymous):
10 > 1p
when dividing you must switch signs
p < 10
OpenStudy (anonymous):
isnt only when its negative?

oh yes
OpenStudy (anonymous):
so p > 10
OpenStudy (anonymous):
i'm lost. where do you get 4p-3p = 1p. i get the 4p-3p, but where does the 1p come from?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
its the same thing as p
OpenStudy (anonymous):
also, it's greater than or equal to, not just greater than.

well that wasn't in your question now was it?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
no, bc i can't make that sign on my keyboard.
OpenStudy (anonymous):
so put a minus sign or type it out next time :)
OpenStudy (anonymous):
ok. i will. but back to this problem...
OpenStudy (anonymous):
it was originally:
3(p-3)>=4p-1

distribute
OpenStudy (anonymous):
so that would be 3p-9>=4p-1
OpenStudy (anonymous):
3p-9>=4p-1
4p-3p = 1p
+1 to the -9
so you have 1p > = -8
OpenStudy (anonymous):
solve from there
OpenStudy (anonymous):
thanks. you seem to know what ur doing. but i get lost at 1p.
