5p>-17

p>-17/5

Answer 2

Answer:

The value of the inequity for P is $P>-3\frac{2}{5}$.

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider the provided inequity.

$8P + 2 > 3P - 15$

We need to solve the inequity for P.

Subtract 3P from both the sides of the inequity.

$8P -3P + 2 > 3P -3P- 15$

$5P + 2 >- 15$

Subtract 2 from both the side.

$5P + 2-2 >- 15-2$

$5P>-17$

Divide both the side of the inequity by 5.

$P>\frac{-17}{5}$

$P>-3\frac{2}{5}$

Hence, the value of the inequity for P is $P>-3\frac{2}{5}$.
