Help me
-3p>-48
Also plz help explain the process I’m really stuck on this one
Thanks
if you multiply or divide both sides by a negative, reverse the arrow (think about points on a number line)
3 p < 48
p < 16
==================
for example
-1 > -2 (look at number line, -1 is to the right of -2)
but
+1 < + 2 (sure enough
Thnx <333
To solve the inequality -3p > -48, we need to isolate the variable p.
First, divide both sides of the inequality by -3. Remember, when dividing both sides of an inequality by a negative number, the direction of the inequality symbol flips.
-3p / -3 < -48 / -3
This simplifies to:
p < 16
So, the solution to the inequality is p is less than 16.
To explain the process further, when you divide both sides by a negative number, the inequality flips direction because dividing a negative by a negative results in a positive.
By dividing both sides of the inequality by -3, we are effectively dividing -3p by -3, and -48 by -3, which gives us p and 16 respectively. Thus, we get the solution that p < 16.
Remember, when working with inequalities, always perform the same operation on both sides of the inequality to maintain equality.
