Hey there!
2(p + 1) + 3(p + 2) > 2
= 2(p) + 2(1) + 3(p) + 3(2) > 2
= 2p + 2 + 3p + 6 > 2
= 5p + 8 > 2
SUBTRACT 8 to BOTH SIDES
5p + 8 - 8 > 2 - 8
CANCEL out: 8 - 8 because it gives you 1
KEEP: 2 - 8 because it help solve for the p-value
NEW EQUATION: 5p > 2 - 8
SIMPLIFY IT!
5p > -6
DIVIDE 5 to BOTH SIDES
5p/5 > -6/5
CANCEL out: 5/5 because it gives you 1
KEEP: -6/5 because it helps solve for the p-value.
We cannot do much to it so we will leave it alone.
Therefore, your answer should be: p > -6/5
It is an OPEN circle shaded to the RIGHT
Good luck on your assignment and enjoy your day!
