Question

⅔p + 4 < 20 can someone answer and show work plz

Answer 1

Answer:  p < 24

Step-by-step explanation: I'm assuming you mean solving for P

1.  We want to get p alone and the first step would be to subtract 4 from both side which will give us: ⅔p < 16

2. Next step would to be multiplying by 3 from both sides and doing this will cancel out the 3 in the denominator giving you: 2p < 48

3. Now we have to divide both sides by 2 and we are done which gives us:

p < 24

Don't forget if we were to be dividing by a negative the sign would flip

(for example: -2p < 6 = p > 3)  this isn't used in this problem but just a reminder if you see this in future problems
