6p-15\geq 8p-5
Use the distributive property to multiply 3 by 2p-5.
6p-15-8p\geq -5
Subtract 8p from both sides.
-2p-15\geq -5
Combine 6p and -8p to get -2p.
-2p\geq -5+15
Add 15 to both sides.
-2p\geq 10
Add -5 and 15 to get 10.
p\leq \frac{10}{-2}
Divide both sides by -2. Since -2 is negative, the inequality direction is changed.
p\leq -5
Divide 10 by -2 to get -5.
