Since you are not distributing at all, you can ignore the parenthesis :)
When ignoring the parenthesis your equation is
18x + 11 - 4x
Then just combine like terms :)
14x + 11
Your answer is C.
Hope this helped!

Answer:
p = -2/5 or 3/8
Step-by-step explanation:
|5 − 3p| + 9 = 13p + 8
|5 − 3p| = 13p − 1
If 5 − 3p is positive:
5 − 3p = 13p − 1
6 = 16p
p = 3/8
If 5 − 3p is negative:
-(5 − 3p) = 13p − 1
-5 + 3p = 13p − 1
-4 = 10p
p = -2/5
Alternatively, we can square both sides of the equation:
(5 − 3p)² = (13p − 1)²
25 − 30p + 9p² = 169p² − 26p + 1
0 = 160p² + 4p − 24
0 = 40p² + p − 6
0 = (5p + 2) (8p − 3)
p = -2/5 or 3/8
All of these have no x-intercepts, since x-intercepts require y to be 0. Their y-intercepts are:
(0, 4)
(0, -18)
(0, 16)
(0, -7)
respectively.
