Answer: [tex]-1\frac{1}{5}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

[tex]2(P +1) + 3(P + 2 ) > 2[/tex]

Distribute 2 and 3

[tex]2P+2+3P+6>2[/tex]

Combine like terms;

[tex]5P+8>2[/tex]

Subtract 8

[tex]5P>2-8[/tex]

[tex]5P>-6[/tex]

Divide by 5

[tex]P>-\frac{6}{5}[/tex]

Convert to a mixed number by dividing. However, when we have the numerator greater than the denominator, we must find a way to make the numerator lower. We can achieve this by separating it into 2 fractions.

[tex]-\frac{6}{5}=-\frac{5}{5}-\frac{1}{5}[/tex]

When we do this, we can see that 5/5 = 1

[tex]-1-\frac{1}{5}=-1\frac{1}{5}[/tex]
