Identifying Intermediate Steps in Linear Inequalities

An operations specialist is solving the resource allocation inequality 8p+3(p12)>7p28{}8p + 3(p - 12) > 7p - 28. After several simplification steps, the specialist reaches the following stage:

4p36>28{}4p - 36 > -28

According to the standard process for solving linear inequalities, what is the next specific algebraic step the specialist should perform to isolate the 4p{}4p term on the left side?
