If p represents the pounds of poultry the caterer had originally, then serving 45 pounds from that amount would be <em /><em>subtracting it from the original amount</em>, leaving them with p-45 pounds of poultry. We're told that this new weight is more than, or <em>greater than</em>, 10 pounds. The > sign captures that fact nicely. Our inequality then becomes:

p-45\ \textgreater \ 10

Which means "p pounds of poultry, minus 45 pounds, is heavier than 10 pounds."

Edit: Solving that inequality by adding 45 to both sides, we find that

p \ \textgreater \ 55

Which means that the caterer started with more than 55 pounds of poultry.

Sandi did not follow PEMDAS. She added before multiplying and dividing. Her answer should be 18 because 6 • 4 = 24, 2 / 2 = 1, 24 + 1 = 25, 25 - 7 = 18

Well, at least you improved.  But maybe you should use another source besides brainly for your tests.  Sometimes people put the wrong answers just to get points.

I hope you do better next time!  Good luck!!
