Answer:

P>5

Explanation:


2(P+1) >7+P\\

Applying distributive property:


2P+2>7+P

Then, we need to move similar terms to the same site of the inequality:


2P-P>7-2\\P>5\\

As you can see, we operated similar terms.

Therefore, the result is
P>5

This result means that all values that are part of the solution are major than 5.

2(P + 1) > 7 + P
2P + 2 > 7 + P
2P - P > 7 - 2
P > 5
