Isolate absolute value: We have the inequality: |p| + 5 > 10First, we isolate the absolute value term by subtracting 5 from both sides of the inequality.|p| + 5 - 5 > 10 - 5|p| > 5
Interpret inequality: Now we interpret the absolute value inequality.The inequality |p| > 5 means that p is either greater than 5 or less than −5.This can be written as two separate inequalities:p > 5 or p < -5
Write compound inequality: We can now write the compound inequality that represents the solution to the original inequality.The compound inequality is:p < -5 or p > 5
