Starting with
2%2F3(p+3) > 5%2F6(p-4)
...
Multiply the entire inequality by 6 to be rid of the fractions

4(p+3) > 5(p-4)
...
Distribute the 4 and 5
4p + 12 > 5p - 20
...
Group like terms
4p - 5p > -20 - 12
-p > -32
...
Divide both sides by -1(*note the sign change for dividing by a negative)
highlight_green%28p+%3C+32%29
