$$19p+2 = 17p+2$$
Answer
$$ p = 0 $$
Explanation
$$ \begin{aligned} 19p+2 &= 17p+2&& \text{move the $ \color{blue}{ 17p } $ to the left side and $ \color{blue}{ 2 }$ to the right} \\[1 em]19p-17p &= 2-2&& \text{simplify left and right hand side} \\[1 em]2p &= 0&& \text{ divide both sides by $ 2 $ } \\[1 em]p &= \frac{0}{2}&& \\[1 em]p &= 0&& \\[1 em] \end{aligned} $$
