To solve the inequality -3p + 18 < 9, you need to isolate the variable p.

First, subtract 18 from both sides of the inequality:

-3p + 18 - 18 < 9 - 18

This simplifies to:

-3p < -9

Next, divide both sides of the inequality by -3. Since we are dividing by a negative number, the direction of the inequality symbol should be reversed:

(-3p)/(-3) > (-9)/(-3)

This simplifies to:

p > 3

So the solution to the inequality is p > 3.
