Just divide both sides by -3. Don't be lazy.

and since you're dividing by a negative number the symbol will be the opposite, so p < and your answer.

To solve the inequality -3p > -48, we need to isolate the variable p.

1. First, we need to get rid of the negative sign in front of p. We can do this by multiplying both sides of the inequality by -1. However, whenever we multiply or divide by a negative number, we must flip the inequality sign.
-3p > -48 (multiply both sides by -1)
*(-1) *(-1)
3p < 48 (flip the inequality sign)

2. Now, we have 3p < 48. To get p by itself, we divide both sides by 3.
3p < 48 (divide both sides by 3)
p < 16

Therefore, the solution to the inequality -3p > -48 is p < 16.
