Step 1 :

Pulling out like terms :

1.1 Pull out like factors :

3p - 36 = 3 • (p - 12)

Equation at the end of step 1 :

Step 2 :

2.1 Divide both sides by 3

Solve Basic Inequality :

2.2 Add 12 to both sides

p < 12

3p - 16 < 20

p < 12

3p - 16 < 20

3p < 20 + 16

3p < 36

p < 12 ...Ans.

3p – 16 < 20

3p < 36

p < 12

3p - 16 < 20

3p < 36

p < 12

The solution is: p < 12

3p < 36

p < 12

P<12. First, add 16 to both sides of the inequality. So, 16+16=0 and 20+16=36. Thus, you are left with 3p>36. Divide each side by 3 to leave the p by itself and you get P<12. Hope I could help

3p – 16 < 20

Add 16 to both sides:

3p < 36

Divide both sides by 3:

p < 12

+16 cancel out, -16 from 20=4. 3p/4= p=4/3
