Answer 2

Answer: p = +4

Step-by-step explanation: To solve this equation for p, our first step is to distribute the 3 through the parentheses on the left side.

3 times p is 3p and 3 times 2 is 6.

So we have 3p + 6 = 18.

Next, we need to isolate the p term by subtracting 6 from both sides of the equation to get 3p = 12.

Finally, we divide both sides of the equation by 3 to get p = +4.
