Question 1009126: Hector's doctor told him that his cholesterol level should be below 200. Hector's cholesterol is 225.

Solve the inequality.
You can put this solution on YOUR website! You're almost there already...
225 - p < 200
To solve this, add p to both sides and subtract 200 and we get
225 - 200 < p
25 < p and
p > 25
He has to lower his level more than 25 points.
