Question

Solve for p. <---- PLEASE

​2(p+1)=18​




p = 8

p = 8.5

p = 9.5

p = 10

Answer 1

`p = 8`

Explanation:

1) Divide both sides by 2.

`p + 1 = (18)/(2)`

2) Simplify 18/2 to 9.

`p + 1 = 9`

3) Subtract 1 from both sides.

`p = 9 - 1`

4) Simplify 9 - 1 to 8.

`p = 8`

Therefor, the answer is option A.
