Hello ! Very simple : p = x /. FindRoot[x + Log[x] == 5, {x, 1}] Greetings !

How do I get rid of the arrow ("->") from the output when using FindRoot? E.g. p := FindRoot[x + Log[x] == 5, {x, 1}] Print[p] gives the output {x -> 3.69344} and then if I change Print[p] to Print[p + 1] then the output is {1 + (x -> 3.69344)} I need to have the output as a number so as to be able to put it into other functions and plot it.
