Question

can you tell me the solution to -3 (p + 1) equal to -18

Answer 1

-3p-3=-18
-3p=-18+3
-3p=-15
p=5

Answer 2

Hi there!

The answer to the inequality given is p ≥ 5

To get there follow these steps:
1. Distribute the -3, -3p-3≤-18
2. Add -3 to both sides, {-3p (-3 + 3 = 0) ≤ (-18 + 3 = -15)} = -3p ≤ -15
3. Divide both sides by -3, $\frac{-3p}{-3}$ ≤ $\frac{-15}{-3}$
4. The final answer is p ≥ 5
