p<−9
p less than negative 9

p>9
p greater than 9

p>−9
p greater than negative 9

Answer 1

To solve the inequality \(-3p + 18 < -9\), we can follow these steps:

1. Subtract 18 from both sides:

\[
-3p < -9 - 18
\]
\[
-3p < -27
\]

2. Divide both sides by -3. Remember, when you divide or multiply by a negative number, you must flip the inequality sign:

\[
p > 9
\]

So the solution to the inequality is:

**p > 9**

The corresponding response is: **p greater than 9**.
