Answer:

p = 1

Explanation:

6+18p-5=8p+13-2 Collect the like terms on the left and right side

6 - 5 + 18p = 8p + 13 - 2

1 + 18p = 8p + 11 Subtract 1 from both sides.

18p = 8p + 11 - 1 Combine

18p = 8p + 10 Subtract 8p from both sides

18p - 8p = 10 Combine the left

10p = 10 Divide by 10

10p/10 = 10/10

p = 1
