Solve 18.55geq2-p

$$18.55 \geq 2 - p$$

Solve for p

$$p\geq -16.55$$

Solution Steps

Swap sides so that all variable terms are on the left hand side. This changes the sign direction.

$$2-p\leq 18.55$$

Subtract 2 from both sides.

$$-p\leq 18.55-2$$

Subtract 2 from 18.55 to get 16.55.

$$-p\leq 16.55$$

Divide both sides by -1. Since -1 is negative, the inequality direction is changed.

$$p\geq \frac{16.55}{-1}$$

Expand \frac{16.55}{-1} by multiplying both numerator and the denominator by 100.

$$p\geq \frac{1655}{-100}$$

Reduce the fraction \frac{1655}{-100} to lowest terms by extracting and canceling out 5.

$$p\geq -\frac{331}{20}$$
