Question

8P + 2> 3P - 15.

Answer 1

Since 3P contains the variable to solve for, move it to the left-hand side of the inequality by subtracting 3P from both sides

8P+2-3P>-15

Since 8P and -3P are like terms, add -3P to 8P to get 5P

5P+2>-15

Since 2 does not contain the variable to solve for, move it to the right-hand side of the inequality by subtracting 2 from both sides.

5P>-2-15
Subtract 15 from -2 to get -17.

5P>-17

Divide each term in the inequality by 5

5P/5 > -17/5
Simplify
P>-17/5

Answer 2

Answer in terms of an improper fraction.

Answer 3

P > - 2 \[\frac{ 5 }{ 17 }\]
