Step 1First, divide each side of the inequality by                     -        15             to solve for p while keeping the inequality balanced. However, because we are multiplying or dividing an inequality by a negative number we must reverse the inequality operator:                    -        15        p                              -          15                                    ≥                            -        90                              -          15                                                                                                                                  -                    15                                                                                      p                                                        -              15                                                          ≥              6        p                  ≥              6  To graph this we will draw a vertical line at 6 on the horizontal axis.The line will be a solid line because the inequality operator contains an &quot;or equal to&quot; clause.
