The answer is : p = -4

the following are the steps to solve it::

13 - 3p = -5 (3 + 2p)

calculate the area of the right hand first by multiplying the number 5 by the number in brackets

13 - 3p = -15 - 10p

move everything that contains p to the left side

13 - 3p + 10p = - 15

count all containing p

13 + 7p = -15

move the ones that don't contain p to the right

7p = -15 - 13

count on the right side

7p = - 28

p = -4
