Answer

$p\gt4$

Work Step by Step

$5(3p-2)\gt50\longrightarrow$ multiply using the distributive property $15p-10\gt50\longrightarrow$ add 10 to each side $15p-10+10\gt50+10\longrightarrow$ add $15p\gt60\longrightarrow$ divide each side by 15 $15p\div15\gt60\div15\longrightarrow$ divide $p\gt4$ The endpoint on the graph will be an open circle since 4 is not included in the solution set.
