To write the equation, we need to consider the total amount Yolanda paid after using the coupon. The regular price of each meal is represented by $$ p $$. Since she had a coupon for $$ 9 $$ dollars off each meal, the price she paid for each meal is $$ p - 9 $$.

Since she bought 3 meals, the total amount paid can be expressed as:
$$
3(p - 9) = 18
$$

Now, we can fill in the blanks:
$$
3(p - 9) = 18
$$

So, the equation is:
$$
3(p - 9) = 18
$$
Now, we will solve the equation $$ 3(p - 9) = 18 $$.

First, divide both sides by 3:
$$
p - 9 = 6
$$

Next, add 9 to both sides:
$$
p = 6 + 9
$$

Now, we can calculate the value of $$ p $$:
$$
p = 15
$$
The regular price of each meal is $$ 15 $$ dollars.
