,
p minus 4.5 = 18: Add 4.5 to the left side and subtract 4.5 from the right side of the equation. The answer is 13.5 inches.
18 + p = 4.5: Subtract 4.5 from both sides. The answer is 13.5 inches.
p + 4.5 = 18: Subtract 4.5 from both sides. The answer is 13.5 inches.
18 + 4.5 = p: Subtract 4.5 from the left side. The answer is 13.5 inches.
