It's like an equation.
\n" ); document.write( "Unknowns on one side, knows on the other.
\n" ); document.write( "\"5%28p%2B2%29+-+2%28p+-1%29+%3E=+7p+%2B+4\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"5p%2B10-2p%2B2%3E=7p%2B4\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"3p%2B12%3E=7p%2B4\"
\n" ); document.write( "Subtract \"7p%2B12\" from both sides,
\n" ); document.write( "\"3p-7p%2B12-12%3E=7p-7p%2B4-12\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"-4p%3E=-8\"
\n" ); document.write( "Divide both sides by \"-2\", remember the direction of the inequality flips when multiplying or dividing by a negative number.
\n" ); document.write( "\"p%3C=2\"
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
