Add 5 to both sides:
19 +5 -13p = -17p -5 +5
24 -13p = -17p
Add 13 p to both sides:
24 -13p +13p = -17p +13p
24 = -4p
Now divide both sides by -4:
24/(-4) = (-4/-4) *p
-6 = p
Check:
19-13(-6) = 19 + 78 = 97
-17(-6) -5 = 102 - 5 = 97
97=97, therefore, p = -6

19 -13p = -17p-5 ADD 5 to both sides
19 - 13p + 5 = -17p - 5 + 5
24 - 13p = -17p ADD 13 p to both sides
24 - 13p +13p = -17p + 13p
24 = -4p DIVIDE both sides by -4
-24/4 = p
-6 = p ANSWER
CHECK in original equation
19-13p= -17p - 5
19-13(-6) = -17(-6) - 5
19 - (-78) = 102 - 5
97 = 97 The answer checks out

Add 17p to both sides and subtract 19 from both sides
4p = -24
Divide by 4
p = -6
Check:
19 - 13(-6) = -17(-6) -5
19 + 78 = 102 - 5
97 = 97

19 - 13p = -17p - 5
-13p + 17p = -5 - 19
4p = -24
p = -6
Hope this helps!

17p - 13p = -19 - 5
4p = -24, p = -6

Move the 'p's to one side, and the numbers to the other.
24=-4p
Divide -4 by both sides
p=-6
