Literally transcribe the description. No tricks are needed!

p, "a number"; You can choose any variable you want.
"Three times the sum..."


"the sum of a number and 4 minus the number"


"...is 18."


The real trouble is that your description is bad. You cannot solve the equation and the equation is FALSE.
