solve the inequailty and the graph the sultion p < 2 dot 3

To solve the inequality p < 2.3, we first note that "p" represents a variable and "2.3" is a constant.

To graph the solution, we will use an open circle at 2.3 (since the inequality does not include "="), and shade the region to the left of 2.3 on the number line.

The number line would look like this:

<=================o----------------->

The shaded region would be to the left of 2.3, indicating that any value of "p" less than 2.3 would satisfy the inequality p < 2.3.
