Hello from MrBillDoesMath!

Answer:

The correct answer is p >= -5/3

but I don't see that answer as a provided choice (?)

Discussion:

Solve:

2(6p-5) >= 3(p-8) - 1 =>

2*6p - 2*5 >= 3*p - 3*8 -1 =>

12p -10 >= 3p - 24 - 1 => (subtract 3p from both sides)

12p-3p - 10 >= -25 => (add 10 to both sides)

9p >= -25 + 10 = -15 =>

p >= -15/9 = -5/3


Regards,

MrB
