24+3p<5p-\frac{16}{2}
Divide 72 by 3 to get 24.
24+3p<5p-8
Divide 16 by 2 to get 8.
24+3p-5p<-8
Subtract 5p from both sides.
24-2p<-8
Combine 3p and -5p to get -2p.
-2p<-8-24
Subtract 24 from both sides.
-2p<-32
Subtract 24 from -8 to get -32.
p>\frac{-32}{-2}
Divide both sides by -2. Since -2 is negative, the inequality direction is changed.
p>16
Divide -32 by -2 to get 16.
