Answer:

p=2½.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the equation:


18p-45=0

Step 1: Add 45 to both sides of the equation.


\begin{gathered} 18p-45+45=0+45 \\ 18p=45 \end{gathered}

Step 2: Divide both sides of the equation by 18.


\begin{gathered} (18p)/(18)=(45)/(18) \\ p=(45)/(18) \end{gathered}

Step 3: Reduce the fraction to the lowest term:


\begin{gathered} p=(9*5)/(9*2) \\ p=(5)/(2) \\ p=2(1)/(2) \end{gathered}

The solution to the equation is 2½.
