Hello there!
4(p - 4) > 12
First, we need to apply the Distributive Property to the left side of the inequality.
To apply the Distributive Property, we need to multiply the number/variable outside of the parenthesis by all inside numbers/variables inside of the parenthesis.
4(p - 4)
4(p) + 4(-4)
4p - 16 is what we're left with on the left side of the inequality.
Now, our inequality is this:
4p - 16 > 12
Add 16 to both sides.
4p > 28
Divide both sides by 4.
p > 7
p > 7 is your solution.
I hope this helps!
