Answer

$p\leq 2$

Work Step by Step

Applying the properties of inequality, we can P1. add any number to both sides, P2. multiply (or divide) both sides with a positive $\quad$ number to arrive at a valid inequality. $\quad$ If we P3. multiply (or divide) both sides with a negative number, we must change the direction of the inequality sign, to arrive at a valid inequality.. Our goal is to, step by step, isolate the unknown on one side and interpret the result (which, if any, will be an interval) ----------------------------- $6p+7\leq 19 \qquad $P1: ...$/-$7 $6p\leq 12 \qquad $P$2$: ...$/\div 6$ $p\leq 2$ In interval notation: $(-\infty, 2]$.
