Fill in the Blank

A quality control technician at a manufacturing facility is monitoring the thickness pp of a protective film. After a standardized wear test reduces the thickness by 34\frac{3}{4} of a millimeter, the remaining film must still be at least 16\frac{1}{6} of a millimeter thick to meet safety standards. This requirement is represented by the inequality p3416p - \frac{3}{4} \geq \frac{1}{6}. To begin solving this inequality for pp, the technician adds 34\frac{3}{4} to both sides of the inequality. This step is justified by the ____ Property of Inequality.
