Answer:

p < 3.7

Explanation:

-3p + 6.7 > -4.4

1- subtract 6.7 to leave -3p alone

-3p + 6.7 -6.7 > -4.4 - 6.7

-3p > -11.1

2- Divide both sides by -3. NOTE; u must change the > sign to < because u r dividing by a negative

-3p/-3 = p

-11.1/-3= 3.7

p < 3.7

Answer: p <
-(11.1)/(3)

Explanation:

To solve, we will isolate the p variable.

Given:

-3p + 6.7 > -4.4

Subtract 6.7 from both sides of the equation:

-3p > -11.1

Divide both sides of the equation by 3:

Note, you must switch the sign since you're dividing by a negative.

p <
-(11.1)/(3)
