Question

Graph the solution to this inequality on the number line. −7p+3<−60

Answer 1

p > 9

Explanation:

1. First, you have to simplify/solve it (steps will be below).
2. Subtract 3 from each side, so it now looks like this: -7p < -63
3. Divide each side by -7 to cancel out the -7 next to p. It should now look like this: p > 9
4. To graph, start at 9 on a number line. Draw a little, open (not filled in) circle on the tick mark for 9. Then, draw an arrow going to the right of 9 all the way to the end of the number line you drew. See the photo below to know what it should look like.

I hope this helps!

Answer 2

Answer: see below

Explanation:

Solve the inequality:

Given

-7p + 3< -60

Subtract 3 on both sides

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

-7p < -63

Divide -7 on both sides and change the sign (NOTE: Dividing or Multiplying negative numbers needs to change the sign)

-7p / -7 > -63/-7

p>9

Graph the inequality:
