Question

Solve the following equation. Then place the correct number in the box provided. Leave answer in terms of a mixed number.

6(2P - 1) > 5P + 2

Answer 1

p is greater than 8/7

Answer 2

p>
`(8)/(7)`

Explanation:

The equation is 6(2 P-1) > 5 P +2

6(2 P-1)> 5 P+2

6×2 P-6×1> 5 P+2

12 P-6> 5 P+2

12 P - 5 P > 2+6

7 P > 8

P >
`(8)/(7)`

P is greater than
`(8)/(7)`

Hence, the correct answer is p greater than
`(8)/(7)`
