Solve the following inequality. Graph and check your solution.
3<p/9
Solve the inequality.
To solve the inequality 3 < p/9, we can start by multiplying both sides of the inequality by 9 to eliminate the fraction:
3 * 9 < p
27 < p
So the solution to the inequality is p > 27.
To graph the solution, we draw an open circle at the value 27 on the number line and shade all the numbers to the right of 27.
Checking the solution, if we choose a value greater than 27, such as 30, we can see that 3 < 30/9 is true:
3 < 30/9
3 < 3.33
Since 3 is less than 3.33, the inequality holds true.
