Solve for p. -8.2p ≤ -7.9p + 2.37 Write your answer with p first, followed by an inequality symbol. ______

Isolate variable p: Isolate the variable p on one side of the inequality. -8.2p ≤ -7.9p + 2.37 -8.2p + 7.9p ≤ 2.37 -0.3p ≤ 2.37 Divide and flip inequality: Divide both sides by -0.3 to solve for p, remembering to flip the inequality sign because we are dividing by a negative number. -0.3p / -0.3 ≥ 2.37 / -0.3 p ≥ -7.9

Q. Solve for

p

\newline

-8.2p \leq -7.9p + 2.37

\newline

Write your answer with

p

first, followed by an inequality symbol.

\newline

______

Isolate variable $p$ : Isolate the variable $p$ on one side of the inequality. $\newline$ $-8.2p \leq -7.9p + 2.37$ $\newline$ $-8.2p + 7.9p \leq 2.37$ $\newline$ $-0.3p \leq 2.37$
Divide and flip inequality: Divide both sides by $-0.3$ to solve for $p$ , remembering to flip the inequality sign because we are dividing by a negative number. $\newline$ $-0.3p / -0.3 \geq 2.37 / -0.3$ $\newline$ $p \geq -7.9$
