2(p + 1) = 18. ****We will be using distributive property to solve for this equation.

2(p + 1) = 18
2p + 2 = 18 ***now, we want to get rid of the 2 from the left side so we will subtract 2 from both sides.

2p + 2 - 2 = 18 - 2
2p = 16. ****Now, we can divide both sides by 2 because we want to get rid of the 2 from the left side so that we are just left with P and our answer.

2p = 16
2p/2 = 16/2
P = 8

So, in conclusion, P is equal to 8.

Diane's question is not a statistical question because there is not variability in the response, and because data has to be collected to answer it.

Hope this helps! Please let me know if you need more help, or if you think my answer is incorrect. Brainliest would be MUCH appreciated. Have a great day!

Stay Brainy!
