The expression 15-5p-6 means 15 minus the product of 5 times the difference of p minus 6. If p = 8, then the value of the expres

8 > 7 + Subtract 7 from both sides
1 > Multiply both sides by 6
6 > x Flip it around so it's easier to read
x < 6
You can graph your answer by drawing an open circle at the 6 and coloring the line to the left. The circle should be open, because x is <em>less than 6</em>, not less than or equal to. You would color to the left to show that x can be anything less than 6.
Start off by combining like terms on the LHS (the terms with x in them).
So we get
Replacing this result with what we had before on the LHS, we get
⇒Solve for x (divide both sides
)
⇒Don't forget about reciprocity rules when dividing. This is the same as multiplying both sides by
