______

Isolate variable term: Isolate the variable term in -7.8p > -5p + 4.48. $\newline$ -7.8p > -5p + 4.48 $\newline$ -7.8p + 5p > -5p + 4.48 + 5p $\newline$ -2.8p > 4.48
Solve for $p$ : Solve for $p$ by dividing both sides by $-2.8$ , remembering to flip the inequality because we are dividing by a negative number. $\newline$ \frac{-2.8p}{-2.8} < \frac{4.48}{-2.8} $\newline$ p < -1.6
