Question

Three p plus two is greater than or equal to negative ten

Answer 1

p ≥ - 4

Explanation:

Note: Three p = 3p; plus two = + 2; greater than or equal to = ≥; negative ten = -10.

3p + 2 ≥ - 10

Isolate the variable. Do the opposite of PEMDAS. First, subtract 2 from both sides

3p + 2 (-2) ≥ -10 (-2)

3p ≥ -12

Next, isolate the p. Divide 3 from both sides.

(3p)/3 ≥ (-12)/3

p ≥ -12/3

p ≥ - 4

p ≥ - 4 is your answer
