Answer:
17=p+8
Step-by-step explanation:
Start by setting the equation equal to 17 on either the right or left side. Now, on the opposite side of the equation read out what the question is saying.
"8 more than a number (p)" the variable would be p, and 8 more than p is 17. Now that you have that in mind, write 17 is equal to p plus 8.
17=p+8
If the question asks you to solve this equation for p, subtract 8 from both sides to get 9 for p.
I hope this is easy to understand.
