5p>-17

p>-17/5

Answer 2

The value of the inequity for P is
`P>-3(2)/(5)`.

Explanation:

Consider the provided inequity.

`8P + 2 > 3P - 15`

We need to solve the inequity for P.

Subtract 3P from both the sides of the inequity.

`8P -3P + 2 > 3P -3P- 15`

`5P + 2 >- 15`

Subtract 2 from both the side.

`5P + 2-2 >- 15-2`

`5P>-17`

Divide both the side of the inequity by 5.

`P>(-17)/(5)`

`P>-3(2)/(5)`

Hence, the value of the inequity for P is
`P>-3(2)/(5)`.
