Answer:

p>10

Explanation:

\left(-6\left(p-8\right)\right)\left(-1\right)>\left(-12\right)\left(-1\right)

6\left(p-8\right)>12

\frac{6\left(p-8\right)}{6}>\frac{12}{6}

p-8>2

p-8+8>2+8

p>10

Answer:

p > 10

Explanation:

Given

- 6(p - 8) < - 12

Divide both sides by - 6, reversing the symbol as a result of dividing by a negative quantity.

p - 8 > 2 ( add 8 to both sides )

p > 10
