p minus 4.5 = 18: Add 4.5 to the left side and subtract 4.5 from the right side of the equation. The answer is 13.5 inches.
18 + p = 4.5: Subtract 4.5 from both sides. The answer is 13.5 inches.
p + 4.5 = 18: Subtract 4.5 from both sides. The answer is 13.5 inches.
18 + 4.5 = p: Subtract 4.5 from the left side. The answer is 13.5 inches.
My answer is 82. I added up 90 + 80 + 75 = 245. I then divided that by 3 because there are 3 different cultures. And the number was 81. something. So, I rounded and got 82. But I'm not sure if that's the right answer.
