We can begin by rewriting the problem:
3/4 - 1/2p > 5/4
Let’s solve accordingly through steps:
1. Subtract 3/4
-1/2p > 2/4
2. Divide both sides by the coefficient
-1/2 / -1/2 = p
2/4 / -1/2 = -1
3. Simplify & Switch Signs
p < -1
The answer to Part A is p < -1.
Part B: On a number line, this answer would be graphed by plotting a point at -1 and drawing an arrow that goes to the left direction to show that p is less than -1.
