To solve the inequality \(-3 \leq -69 - p\), we can follow these steps:
-
Start by isolating the term with \(p\). Add 69 to both sides:
\[ -3 + 69 \leq -p \]
This simplifies to:
\[ 66 \leq -p \]
-
To isolate \(p\), multiply both sides of the inequality by -1. Remember that when you multiply or divide by a negative number, you must reverse the inequality sign:
\[ -66 \geq p \]
or equivalently:
\[ p \leq -66 \]
Thus, the solution is:
\[ p \leq -66 \]
