#p=-13#

Explanation:

Get the numbers and variable
(the letter #p#) on opposite sides of the equation.

Subtract 19 from both sides of the equation to get #p# by itself like this:

#p +19 = 6#
#-19# #color(white)(aa)# #-19#

On the left side of the equation you are just left with #p# because #19-19 = 0#, and on the right side you end up with -13 because #6-19 =-13#.

Therefore,
#p=-13#
