Given the equation:
9(p + 2) = 3(p - 5)
The inequality cannot be determined but the value of p can be solved in order to have an idea where the inequality lies in the graph.
Solution:
Distribute 9 stand 3 o each value inside their corresponding parenthesis.
9(p + 2) = 3(p - 5)
9p + 18 = 3p - 15
Transpose 3p and 18 to their opposite sides of the equation, hence we must take note that in transposing a number, the sign changes.
9p - 3p = -15 -18
6p = - 33
Divide both sides by 6 in order to get the value of p.
p = -33/6
p = -5.5
Final answer:
The inequality lies on point -5.5 in the graph.
