Answer:

p < 16

Explanation:

Dividing the inequality by a negative number will reverse the comparison.

-3p > -48

(-3p)/(-3) < (-48)/(-3) . . . . divide both sides by the coefficient of p

p < 16

_____

Alternate solution

Add 3p+48 to both sides.

-3p +(3p +48) > -48 +(3p +48)

48 > 3p

Divide both sides by 3; no reversal is necessary.

16 > p . . . . . same answer as above, without the comparison reversal
