Isolate p: Subtract 1 from both sides of the inequality to isolate p.p + 1 - 1 > 3 - 1
Simplify inequality: Simplify both sides of the inequality. p > 2
Check solution: Check the solution to ensure that it makes sense in the context of the original inequality. If p is any number greater than 2, then adding 1 to it will result in a number greater than 3, which satisfies the original inequality p + 1 > 3.
