Explanation:

Step 1: Define

-3(3p - 1) < 7p + 51

Step 2: Solve for p

  1. Distribute -3: -9p + 3 < 7p + 51
  2. Add 9p to both sides: 3 < 16p + 51
  3. Subtract 51 on both sides: -48 < 16p
  4. Divide 16 on both sides: -3 < p
  5. Rewrite: p > -3

Here we see that any value p greater than -3 would work as a solution to the inequality.
