Answer:

Explanation:

This is an easier way


-10p<-70\\\\\mathrm{Multiply\:both\:sides\:by\:-1\:\left(reverse\:the\:inequality\right)}\\\left(-10p\right)\left(-1\right)>\left(-70\right)\left(-1\right)\\\\Simplify\\\left(-10p\right)\left(-1\right)>\left(-70\right)\left(-1\right)\\\\\mathrm{Divide\:both\:sides\:by\:}10\\(10p)/(10)>(70)/(10)\\\\Simplify\\p>7

I think this is what u meant


(-10p)/(-10) < (-70)/(-10) \\\\p > 7
