Solve the inequality and graph the solution. 9< p-6

Question

Should you add 6 to both sides or subtract 9 from both sides

Answer 1

9<p-6.

You want to separate the number from the variable, so add 6 to each side:

15<p, making p>15. On a number line p>15 is the line segment starting just after 15 and moving to the right, assuming that the line segment to the left of 15 is everything less than 15.
