Example: Solving and Graphing pβˆ’34β‰₯16p - \frac{3}{4} \geq \frac{1}{6}

To solve the linear inequality pβˆ’34β‰₯16p - \frac{3}{4} \geq \frac{1}{6}, apply the Addition Property of Inequality by adding 34\frac{3}{4} to both sides to isolate the variable. Finding a common denominator of 1212 enables adding the fractions: 16+34=212+912=1112\frac{1}{6} + \frac{3}{4} = \frac{2}{12} + \frac{9}{12} = \frac{11}{12}. This simplifies the inequality to pβ‰₯1112p \geq \frac{11}{12}. Graphing this solution involves placing a left bracket at 1112\frac{11}{12} on the number line and shading to the right. Expressed in interval notation, the solution is [1112,∞)[\frac{11}{12}, \infty).
