Can you help me ms. Sue?
None of your answers is correct. Look at the directions of the arrows.
To solve the inequality p + 12 < 9, we need to isolate the variable p. Here's how to do it step by step:
1. Start with the inequality: p + 12 < 9.
2. Subtract 12 from both sides of the inequality to move the constant term to the right side: p + 12 - 12 < 9 - 12.
This simplifies to: p < -3.
So the correct answer is D. p > -3.
