-2%28p-3%29%2B5%3E-7 Start with the given inequality.


-2p%2B6%2B5%3E-7 Distribute.


-2p%2B11%3E-7 Combine like terms on the left side.


-2p%3E-7-11 Subtract 11 from both sides.


-2p%3E-18 Combine like terms on the right side.


p%3C%28-18%29%2F%28-2%29 Divide both sides by -2 to isolate p. note: Remember, the inequality sign flips when we divide both sides by a negative number.


p%3C9 Reduce.
