Answer 2

Help?!?!

Answer 3

ok so you want to leave p one one side of the inequality so how would you do that for:
4p + 1 > -11

Answer 4

divide -11 by 1
so 4p<1?

Answer 5

no, you would do:
4p + 1 > -11
4p + 1 -1 > -11 -1
4p > -12
4p/4 > -12/4
p > -3

do you understand?

Answer 6

yes

Answer 7

ok now try doing the same thing I did for:
6p + 3 < 39

Answer 8

in steps like I did above

Answer 9

6p + 3 < 39
6p+3-3<39-3
6p<42
p>7

Answer 10

ok so what is 39 -3 ?

Answer 11

36

Answer 12

yes so try to fix your mistake above

Answer 13

oh
6p<36
p>6

Answer 14

ok so here you don't switch the sign because you are not dividing the number by a negative number so the answer would be:
p < 6
does that make sense?

Answer 15
