Question

-8p>-48
the greater than sign is expose to have a line under it.

Answer 1

Ok.
To write this on a computer, you can write it as
-8p=>-28

Do you have an idea as to how you would solve this question?

Answer 2

maybe add -8 to both sides @NinjaDevo

Answer 3

Not quite... Remeber -8p is saying -8 TIMES p
So we would really need to divide both sides by -8.
A weird rule you have to remember when dealing with questions like this is that if you multiply or divide both sides by a negative, you have to switch the sign
So we get x <=3.5

This means that x can be 3.5, or anything smaller than 3.5.

Does this make sense?

Answer 4

sortve so if i did the math would i get p>6 @NinjaDevo ?

Answer 5

I was writing the wrong equation in my answer. Sorry about that.
Yes your almost right twix, but it would actually be
p<6
because if you multiply or divide both sides by a negative, you have to switch the > sign to a < sign.
It's a weird rule..but it's just something you have to remember.
