Question

Solve the following inequality. Then place the correct answer in the box provided. Answer in terms of a mixed number. 2(P +1) + 3(P + 2 ) > 2

Answer 1

`P>-(6)/(5)`

Explanation:

Isolate the variable by dividing each side by factors that dont't contain the variable.

`2(P+1)+3(P+2)>2`

`2P+2+3P+6>2`

`5P+8>2`

-8 -8

`5P>-6`

Divide both sides by 5.

`P>-(6)/(5)`
