3(p + 2) = 18
3p + 6 = 18
3p = 12
p = 4
Check:
3(p + 2) = 18
3(4 + 2) = 18
3(6) = 18
18 = 18
This proves that p = 4.

Answer: p = +4
Step-by-step explanation: To solve this equation for p, our first step is to distribute the 3 through the parentheses on the left side.
3 times p is 3p and 3 times 2 is 6.
So we have 3p + 6 = 18.
Next, we need to isolate the p term by subtracting 6 from both sides of the equation to get 3p = 12.
Finally, we divide both sides of the equation by 3 to get p = +4.
