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
