Question

Solve the following equation. Then place the correct number in the box provided. 2(P + 1) > 7 + P

Answer 1

2(P + 1) > 7 + P
2P + 2 > 7 + P
2P - P > 7 - 2
P > 5

Answer 2

Answer:

P>5

Step-by-step explanation:

$2(P+1) >7+P$

Applying distributive property:

$2P+2>7+P$

Then, we need to move similar terms to the same site of the inequality:

$2P-P>7-2\\P>5$

As you can see, we operated similar terms.

Therefore, the result is $P>5$

This result means that all values that are part of the solution are major than 5.
