Question

Solve the inequality. Graph and check your solution. p - 5 < 1 Choose the correct answer below.
A. p < 6
B. p > 6
C. p < - 4
D. p > - 4

Choose the graph below

Answer 1

To solve the inequality, we need to isolate the variable p. Starting with p - 5 < 1, we can add 5 to both sides to get p < 6. Therefore, the correct answer is A. p < 6.

The graph of the solution is a number line with an open circle at 6, indicating that 6 is not included in the solution, and an arrow pointing to the left, indicating that all values less than 6 satisfy the inequality.
