Question

Solve this equation 3p-6>21

Answer 1

3p-6 > 21
3p > 21 + 6
p > 27/ 3
p > 9

Answer 2

3p - 6 > 21

First, our goal is to get the variable (p) by itself on one side of the problem. We can start out by adding 6 to each side.
$3p \textgreater 21 + 6$

Second, we can now add 21 + 6 which can easily be done by either counting on your fingers, in your head, or using a calculator. 21 + 6 = 27.
$3p \textgreater 27$

Third, our next step is to divide each side by 3. After doing this, the variable is now standing alone. 
$p \textgreater \frac{27}{3}$

Fourth, our last step is to simplify the fraction. To do so, what multiples into 3 to get 27? The answer is 9. (9 times 3 = 27).
$p \textgreater 9$

Answer: $\fbox {p \textgreater 9}$
