Use a related equation that has the variable on one side. then simplify the other side. p + 6 = 18
a. p = 3
b. p = 12
c. p = 24
d. p = 108

Given number = p + 6 = 1
Before answering, let us first show the solution on how to get the correct answer
=> we have p + 6 = 18, where p is a variable and 6 and 18 are integers.
=> P + 6 =118, move 6 to the right side, since we are going to move it, the value of it will be negative
=>  P = 18 – 6
=> p = 12
Thus, the answer is b. P = 12
