Question

Solve the following equation. Then place the correct number in the box provided. (Use a mixed number format.) 6(2P - 1) > 5P + 2

Answer 1

First u need to get rid of the parenthesis in order to do that u multiply everything inside the ( ) by 6

Answer 2

6(2p-1) . 5p + 2
Distribute the 6 to the 2p and 1

6(2) = 12
6(1) = 6
12p - 6 > 5p + 2
Now combine the like terms.
Subtract 5p from both sides.
12p -6 > 5p + 2
-5p -5p
-----------------
7p - 6 > 2
Now add six to both sides.

7p - 6 > 2
+6 +6
-----------
7p > 8

Answer 3

So u will get 12p-6> 5p+2 . Treat this inequality as a normal equation where you solve for P. First you do +6 to both sides so u are left with 12p>5p+8 Now subtact 5p to both sides to get 7p> 8 Finally divide 7 to both sides to get p> 8/7

Answer 4

ok thanks thats alot to remember how to do that lol
