Hello!

Answer:

p<6

*The answer must have a positive sign and less than symbol sign.

Explanation:

First, you subtract by 7 from both sides of an equation.


7-2p-7>-5-7

Then, simplify.


-2p>-12

Next, multiply by -1 from both sides of an equation.


(-2p)(-1)<(-12)(-1)

Simplify.


2p<12

You can also divide by 2 from both sides of an equation.


(2p)/(2)<(12)/(2)

And finally, simplify and solve. You can also divide by the numbers.


12/2=6

Final answer:
p<6

Hope this helps!

Thanks!
