A graph that shows the solution set for -7p + 3 < -60 is shown on the number line in the image below.

In Mathematics, an inequality is a relation that compares two or more numbers and variables in an algebraic equation based on any of the following inequality symbols:

  • Less than or equal to (≤).
  • Greater than (>).
  • Greater than or equal to (≥).
  • Less than (<).

Based on the information provided, we can logically deduce that solution set is given by;

-7p + 3 < -60

-7p + 3 + 60 < -60 + 60

-7p + 63 < 0

7p > 63

p > 9

Therefore, the solution set is x > 9, which means a hollow dot would be placed at hollowed point 9 on the number line with an arrow that increases to the right as correctly depicted by the graph below.
