Can someone help me with I don’t know what to do

The answer for A is p<1000
And for B it is p>500

p<,means p is less than
p>, means p is greater than

A-1  B-3

Step-by-step explanation:

Part A

Mrs Allen thinks that there are less then 1,000 paper clips.

The 3 options are

p<1,000p>1,000p=1,000

In words it wold be like

Paper clips are less then 1,000Paper clips are more then 1,000Paper clips are equal to 1,000

If Mrs Allen thinks that there are less then 1,000 then it would be answer 1.

Part B

Mrs Hill-Norman thinks there are more then 500 paper clips.

The 3 options are

p=500p<500p>500

In other words

Paper clips are equal to 500Paper clips are less then 500Paper clips are more then 500

If Mrs Hill-Norman thinks there are more then 500 paper clips then it would be answer 3.

 this is the answer and where the parentheses -8+(3-2)+7=-16
