Question

Alexis separated her pictures into 3 piles. Each pile contained 9 pictures. How many pictures did she have in all? Write and solve equation.

Answer to my problem: 27=9p p=3
1 pile has 9 pictures
2 piles contain 18 pictures
3 piles contain 27 pictures

If you can call the statement
number of pictures = 9x3 an "equation", so be it.

What is this p thing?
To use a variable in such a problem as this is just plain nonsense.
P is number of pictures. I had 9x3 at first, but thought that was wrong. Thanks I get it now.
