Question

Solve the following equation. Then place the correct number in the box provided. 8P + 2 > 3P - 15

Answer 1

8P + 2 > 3P - 15
-3p -3p
----------------
5P + 2 > -15
Now you will subtract 2 from both sides.
5P + 2 > -15
-2 -2
---------------
5p > - 17

Now divide 5p on both sides

5p > -17
/5 /5
----------
P > -17/5
