Question

What is the solution to the inequality shown below?

A
p < 9.2

B
p > 9.2

C
p < 19.6

D
p > 19.6

Answer 1

To solve the inequality, you need to isolate/get the variable "p" by itself in the inequality:

5p + 26 < 72 Subtract 26 on both sides

5p + 26 - 26 < 72 - 26

5p < 46 Divide 5 on both sides to get "p" by itself

`(5p)/(5) <(46)/(5)`

`p<(46)/(5)`

p < 9.2 Your answer is A
