Answer:

p = 8

Explanation:

Subtract 18 from behind the equal sign to cancel it out. This leaves you with 2(p+1)- 18= 0.

Next you'll need to pull out the terms to work with the beginning of the problem. 2(p+1)- 18= 0 would turn into 2p - 16 = 2(p - 8).

This would leave you with 2= 0, but that's not true so continue on to the variable.

So p - 8= 0 making the answer p = 8
