To find the amount the insurance company will pay (p) for a $1800 claim with a $500 deductible, we can solve the equation:
\[
500 + p = 1800
\]
To isolate \( p \), subtract 500 from both sides:
\[
p = 1800 - 500
\]
\[
p = 1300
\]
So, the amount the insurance company will pay is **1300**.
\[
500 + p = 1800
\]
To isolate \( p \), subtract 500 from both sides:
\[
p = 1800 - 500
\]
\[
p = 1300
\]
So, the amount the insurance company will pay is **1300**.
