Answer:

Assuming we are solving for p the answer is p=2

Explanation:

First we distribute:

9(p-4) = -18

9p - 36 = -18

Then we add 36 to both sides:

9p - 36 + 36 = -18 + 36

Which gets you:

9p = 18

Now you divide both sides by the same factors:

9p = 18

/9 /9

Which gets you your answer:

p = 2
