D 22
If you're not sure on a problem like this, plug in the answers using order of operations, so for answer choice D, start with the parenthesis:
2(p-10)
Plug in 22 for P and solve:

(22-10) = 12
12*2=24 

So for this answer choice, you have solved the part of the equation that says: 2(p-10), it is 24.

Now plug in 22 for the other variable and solve the equation.
22+4-24= 2
2>0

I realize that I solved that inequality as an equation - that's fine for this case because you're only looking for an answer that is a positive number (greater than 0)
