QuestionSolve the equation and find $p$ in the steps below. Simplify any fractions.
$17 p+1+p =19 \\ 18 p+1 =19 \\ 18 p =18 \\ p =\square \quad \text{(Divide both sides by 18)}$

Studdy Solution

STEP 1

Assumptions1. The equation is a linear equation in one variable, p. . The operations of addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division are allowed.
3. The equation is solved by isolating the variable on one side of the equation.

STEP 2

The equation is already partially solved. We start from the step where the equation is $18p =18$ .

STEP 3

To isolate the variable p, we need to divide both sides of the equation by18.
$p = \frac{18}{18}$

STEP 4

implify the fraction on the right side of the equation.
$p = \frac{18}{18} =1$ So, the solution to the equation is $p =1$ .
