Question

Solve the inequality and graph the solution.

p/3 – 1 ≤ 1

Answer 1

[AI-generated answer — Bot GPT 3.5]

To solve the inequality, we can start by adding 1 to both sides of the inequality to isolate p/3:

p/3 - 1 + 1 ≤ 1 + 1
p/3 ≤ 2

Next, we can multiply both sides of the inequality by 3 to get rid of the fraction:

3 * (p/3) ≤ 2 * 3
p ≤ 6

Therefore, the solution to the inequality is p ≤ 6.

To graph the solution, we can plot all the values of p that are less than or equal to 6 on a number line. Since it is a "less than or equal to" inequality, we include a solid dot at 6 and shade to the left:
