Question

Solve the following equation. Then place the correct number in the box provided.2(P + 1) > 7 + P

Answer 1

first you must multiply out of the bracket on the left hand side
2(P + 1) > 7 + P
2p+2 >7+p

now you want to get all unknowns onto one side and all constants onto another side
we shall move p's onto the left side, and constants onto right, to keep everything positive
so do this, we will subtract a P on both sides, and subtract 2 on both sides

2p-p+2-2>7-2+p-p

this simplifies to
p>5

Answer 2
