*To solve inequalities is similar to solving equations: isolate the desired variable to one side.

So firstly, distribute -8 to (p + 1):

$5p-8p-8>16$

Next, combine like terms:

$-3p-8>16$

Next, add 8 to both sides:

$-3p>24$

Lastly, divide both sides by -3. Now since you are dividing by a negative, you will be flipping the inequality symbol as well. Your final answer will be $p$

What's the answer of {2^3+[4*(10-6)]}/3

Evgesh-ka [11]

Do 2^3 first. It is isolated on one side of a set of the + sign.
{8 + [4*(10 - 6)]} / 3 Next do the innermost
{8 + [4*4]} / 3 Do what's in the square brackets.
{8 + 16} / 3
24/3 Divide by 3
The answer is 8

8 <<<< answer.

There are 16 students playing kickball. Two students leave to go play hopscotch. How do you write the fraction of children left

olga55 [171]

Answer:

7/8

Step-by-step explanation:

When 16 students are playing kickball, there are 16/16 students on the field. After 2 leave, this becomes 16-2/16, therefore 14/16 which is divisible by 2. and therefore 7/8, which the numerator and denominator have no common divisors.
