Question

Add the equation below:-9p=3p + 18Hint: We can isolate the variable by dividing each side by factors that don't contain the variable.

Answer 1

We have the next given equation:

`9p=3p+18`

Now, we can subtract both sides by 3p:

`\begin{gathered} 9p-3p=3p-3p+18 \\ 6p=18 \end{gathered}`

Then, divide both sides by 6:

`\begin{gathered} (6p)/(6)=(18)/(6) \\ p=3 \end{gathered}`

Hence, the answer is p=3
