To solve the inequality, we need to isolate the variable p on one side of the inequality.
Starting with −3p + 18 < −9, subtract 18 from both sides:
−3p + 18 - 18 < −9 - 18.
Simplifying, we have −3p < −27.
To isolate p, divide both sides of the inequality by −3. Remember that when dividing by a negative number, the inequality sign flips.
−3p/−3 > −27/−3.
Simplifying, we have p > 9.
So, the solution to the inequality is p > 9.
Therefore, the correct answer is C. p > 9.
Solve the following inequality: −3p+18<−9.
A. p > -9
B. p < 9
C. p > 9
D. p < - 9
